At this point of the discussion, I want to raise some points: + the idea behind the current process is not bad. The implementation is suboptimal, though, and can be really annoying, as several people pointed out. + a few people are trying to fix the current process by writing the software needed (for NewAccounts, but I imagine it could be extended for things like planet). Maybe help is needed to get things ready (and maybe not), but nobody proposed to help :/ + this should go live soon, as Olav explained (that's why we needed to enforce the new MAINTAINERS format), so maybe we can wait for it to go live and see how it goes before throwing everything. + this discussion is helpful in some ways, but I'm not sure we're getting the most out of it. Eg, I've read here and there that there are no clear guidelines for inclusion on planet or for hackergotchis. There were some replies about the current guidelines and suggested guidelines, and I don't think anybody took them and put them down somewhere. Maybe this would be a good way to start solving this specific issue. + we only have a few really active infrastructure people, and they're trying to fix issues. They can't fix everything at once. We're a very big project, and I'm not surprised to see such issues because we need more help with our infrastructure. It's easy to propose to help, but what we need is people who can help and stay, because we'll have issues again in the future. That being said, I'm not in the infrastructure team and I can't say where help is needed.
