It is up the repo owner what meta info is available in the raw
configuration of a package. OBS itself does not require such data.

This is not the same criteria what you wrote on the wiki page [1] :)

We can prevent this scenario, yes. I checked, that a home project name
_can not_ be altered by the owner using the OBS web UI. So we can
compare that against the logged_in_user. This is however not the same as
for checking authors, maintainers or even packagers :)

I agree with Till and I think we should just kindly ask people not vote
for their own app / package. Even if we had automation they could always
register new MeeGo accounts and that was it...

Yes, it is. As far as the wiki page [1] tells we need to discuss this
here on the list and then file a bug, so that the Community Office could
change the policy on their next meeting ;)

Shall we consider this topic to be formally "discussed" or let's wait a
few more days?
