Hi, On Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:23:35 +0200 Arno Töll wrote: I appreciate your efforts and I like the idea of reportbug integration. I won't comment about the patch itself, I am not maintaining the reportbug package, so I can't judge. Thanks for your kind words. However please note, mentors.debian.NET is not an official Debian project. The .net indicates a subtle difference. While some people, including Don, agreed in eventually having a debian-mentors pseudo package that would be associated with the debian-mentors mailing list, not with mentors.debian.net (i.e. Debexpo, the sofware running there). I am certainly aware of the difference. I was working with the perspective that mentors would need become an official (.org) service first. In my opinion, that should have happened a long time ago. Hence I don't think any tight mentors.d.n integration of reportbug would be appropriate for the time being. Then let's get mentors officialized to tear down this barrier! As an aside that's apropos to this topic, I wonder if the mentors terminology was the best choice. I feel like that term significantly favors the mentor side of the equation, and may explain part of why the service tends to make mentees feel unempowered; like they're very much at the whim of others completely out of their control who are more important. In my opinion a term like contributors would be much more empowering. It would better convey the fact that this is as a place for new contributors to work together, learn, evolve, and grow within the project. So, anyway, in the process of converting mentors to an official service, I wonder if we could debate the merit of using a better / more inviting terminology. I think this kind of transition would be the only chance to make this kind of change (I understand this idea is very much in dangerous bike shedding / yak shaving territory, but I think words/terminology have a significant impact, and we should do our best to get them right). Also I am not particularly convinced on the way you do it (content scraping). If you want, I will gratefully merge a SOAP interface into Debexpo you could query though. I agree, I chose this approach since it's possible to implement right now; although it's certainly fragile (certain changes to the mentors pages will break the scraping algorithms). A soap based interface would be wonderful! Thanks again for all the work you've been putting into debexpo.

We're also all developers, and some of us are maintainers, but we're not necessarily described by those words in a Debian sense.

reportbug: support for mentors.debian.org pseudo package
package: reportbug
version: 6.2.1
severity: wishlist
Hi,
I've written a patch to tentatively support a mentors.debian.org pseudo
package (in order to better track and support the incredible volume of
sponsorship requests and such). Note that there is still ongoing
discussion about the right way to do this [0], and we would need to get
the mentors.d.o psuedo package added to the bts first anyway, but I
think the existence of this patch is needed first to illustrate the
potential usefulness of a bts-based mentors workflow.
In the meantime, would you mind reviewing the patch and determining
whether its good enough to adopt in reportbug, or if it needs some
fixing? If you do have comments, I'll do my best to address them.
Thanks!
Best wishes,
Mike
