Ok, maybe enforcing is not the right way, so let's encourage it.

The idea behind this is not that we just run around and push things to any 
repository. There should be merge requests for u-u repositories and as long as 
the maintainer reviews them noone will have to push anything. And of course we 
want to encourage people to be active and review MRs against their 
repositories.

But you know very well that there can be repositories where the owner 
temporarily loses interest in Exherbo or his repository. This can lead to 
situations where important fixes or even fixes for severe security 
vulnerabilities are not pushed for a longer time.
I think this is not good for anyone and we should have a solution for how we 
deal with this. After all, we expect that repositories in u-u have some 
minimum level of quality, otherwise they would not be there. And I think, here 
response time is also a measure for quality.
This is the only reason why I would like us to have a way to push to these 
repositories, in case it becomes necessary - while I hope that we do not have 
to use it.

Best regards,

Ole
