With my Meta hat on, something like this would be useful for us in a few 
ways:
- it makes it easier to onboard new internal folks to help out with 
package maintenance
- it generally removes toil and makes it harder to forget to add someone 
else as admin to the packages
- it makes tools like the packager dashboard more useful, as we'd be 
able to track all packages of interest from a single place


If all the packages that an organization maintains are within the same 
space, I agree that a traditional SIG would work better, but that 
doesn't make a ton of sense in our specific example. Also, full 
disclosure: we actually already have a FAS group (see 
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/10586) that was created a 
while ago so that we could make a copr group for packit builds of our 
packages (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/groups/g/meta/coprs/). We've 
refrained from using it for anything else until there's clarity around 
desired usage and policies from FESCo.

Yeah, I think some of these groups cross large areas of interest, so
it's hard to say 'xyz sig' because they are interested in a number of

The group must represent something for with there is no broader
community interest. (e.g. I'm interesting in maintaining packages
produced by FunnelFiascCorp, but there's no broader FunnelFiasco SIG
because it's not a broader thing like weather or program management)

No, because it won't be maintained. (I'd like to say yes, but I know

members are and thus can figure out how to contact them if needed.

Right, packager would be required. 

It's worth noting however that new members could easily be added to
the packager group by using the co-maintain process. But thats fine,
IMHO.

Sure. I'm fine with that. I think it's just important to not call it a
SIG, because it's not a "special interest group" in the sense that we

Maybe 'org' in the naming rather than 'corp' as not all businesses and entities 
are corps. More
sedate naming and would cover other distros, charities and other groups in

IMO, we should not call these SIGs either. I'm not sure exactly what
the naming convention should be, but one thought would be
"corp-maint_" (or flip it around if you wish).

e.g., "corp-maint_aiven" for Aiven employees.

Yes.


If so, what would be requirements to approve/deny?


All group members must prove that they're familiar with Fedora packaging 
guidelines, i.e. they must receive sponsorship through the standard 
procedure and not from their employer (may be biased).

I'd like this to happen. While Fedora users are doing a great job in 
maintaining packages in their free time, I think having payed employees 
working on this can enhance package quality and overall Fedora stability 
in its whole. We just make sure no one is sponsored into packager group 
only because they are added to a company group... they still have to 
prove their understanding in Fedora packaging guidelines.

I'd say that these groups should be distinguished from SIGs by using a 
different suffix, i.e. 'foocorp-corp' for grouping by company interests 
in contrast to 'foo-sig' for grouping packages by specific 'foo' area or 
'foo' stack.

I would be however against having a group as main admin of packages. 
Groups can already be set as main POC for bugs and this is enough, IMO. 
The primary maintainer should be a real person, while a group can be set 
as admin of a package.

A big yes for documentation. But to get attention and to get included in the 
Fedora flow it has to be docs, and definitely not a wiki!

Docs team can / will / is willing to help to set up everything needed.

Thanks for the notice.  Can comment on ticket as well if preferred,
though possibly the tickets should be merged.

Probably yes.

May need to revise SIG guidelines, it may be helpful for technology
related to a company rather than just company employees since users of
the technology may want to engage in packaging.  With increasing
diversity in computer architectures, expect to see a number of
specialized builds.

Encouraging inclusion of packages is good - there are people who may not
be packagers but can do the initial preparation to enable a SIG to adopt
a package.  However, want good reviews as well, there may be a
disincentive for thorough reviews just to include a package.  May also
be good to run a light weight version of fedora review on packages to
ensure they get updated after they have been included.

Yes.  Should also have a list of group members.

employment related packager groups

2023-05-26 Thread Kevin Fenzi
Greetings everyone. 

Today we have packager groups used in src.fedoraproject.org to allow a
group of people to maintain packages. In the past this has been used for
SIGs/packaging areas. ie, python-packaging-sig or robotics-sig or the
like. 

FESCo has been asked about creating company related groups.
( https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2966 and https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2929 )
ie, foocorp-sig / foocopr-packagers. These groups would then be used to
help maintain packages that foocorp finds of interest/value. 
This would help companies manage the people they pay to contribute.
It would allow them to more easily add/remove employees as time goes on
instead of someone having to go and add/remove someone from a bunch of
packages.

So, I promised to start a thread here about this. 

Should such groups require FESCo approval?

If so, what would be requirements to approve/deny?

Should we require some documentation? ie, should the group have to make
a doc/wiki page explaining what it's for and how to reach group owners
in case of problems?

Thoughts?
