It seems the main concern of many of the posters in this thread is that you may have a package you care about and would like to maintain, and you do not want a random contributor grabbing it in front of your nose.
I am a big believer in letting computers solve as many problems as possible. That way we humans don't need to argue needlessly :-) The concern above can be solved if people subscribe to bugmail for a specific source package that they want to claim. If that involves several people, they will have to work it out among themselves. This can be detected by software (i.e. MoM or other automated procedures) and a note could be given that a given package is claimed and should not be touched unless otherwise agreed. My guess is that the number of claimed packages is rather small, and that in most cases, the last merger will be happy that someone else carries out the next merge. Cheers, Morten PS: At the moment, there is collective maintainership of all packages in Universe. Does this discussion in reality stem from a wish that Ubuntu maintainership of some packages should be possible? If so, that question should be dealt with politically. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
