No, the question was who makes the promotion to extras. The developer does in the end. > Aniello was saying that developer should have an option > to promote his application directly into extras regardless of > the extras-testing QA. I second to that. I find that understandable and scary. You guys want the control on your software, naturally. But giving a potentially bad experience to a first time oss user? No. The people who will get N900s aren't all reading this list, and some of them are even a bit clueless. I know that the people who are raising this issue provide a class software, I use it. But not everything in for instance Diablo extras is good and functional. Even worse, direct promotion leaves a gaping hole to upload stuff that crashes devices. Which is then pulled out later? I know that the people looking after the maemo.org repositories are fast, but even they go on vacations occasionally. > In addition, Aniello had nice ideas about the processes > and tools how to find applications (and developers) who had > probably misused their power to promote application directly > into extras.

It's a good idea, but needs an implementation, which we could talk about in Amsterdam (a lot of the early contributors will be there, I don't mean to discriminate) live and on a thread here.
