Hey,
Everyone on the To: list has commit permissions on some of the OpenStack
packages. It's quite a big list! :-)
As more people get involved with packaging OpenStack in Fedora/EPEL, I
think we need to figure out how to co-ordinate ourselves better. I had
hoped we could use the cloud SIG mailing list for this but, in practice,
I think folks are reluctant to spam everyone on the list with the nitty
gritty details of what they're working on.
I'm always reluctant to start another mailing list, but I think it might
be warranted here. What say you to openstack(a)lists.fp.org or even
openstack-maint(a)lists.fp.org? Maybe #fedora-openstack on Freenode too?
The fedora-cloud list seems fine with me. It's pretty quiet otherwise.
Discussing anything about OpenStack in Fedora seems very on topic to me.
On a related note, I've been quick to approve requests for
commit
permissions on these packages in order to encourage folks to get
involved. However, quite a few folks have ever used these permissions so
I'm starting to think we should get require folks to have an actual
contribution ready to commit before approving these requests.
Makes sense. I won't be offended if you revoke mine. :-)
Having more than is actually necessary may also lead to some confusion
about who should be contacted if issues arise.
