If our maintainers suck, bureaucracy is not a good solution to fix that
problem.
But we already have a group of trusted maintainers, it's called
"provenpackager". We could give provenpackagers the power to push directly
to stable without any karma requirements.
Given the requirements FESCo + if they checks on the bugzilla activity
of the individual that wants to become a provenpackager and take that
into consideration when approving the request I dont see why not.
So basically it would be like this..
If you are a provenpackager you have the power to push directly to
stable without any karma requirements however if you are not a
provenpackager you will have to follow what ever procedure FESCo RELeng
and QA come up with at any given time until you have been accepted as a
provenpackager by FESCo.
Sounds like a draft to a solution everyone can agree with?
