Ideally the GIT SCM request added to bugzilla when reviews are
approved would have a "Upstream GIT URL" option and would setup
a clone of this, and create branches for the fedora releases,
and apply the same permissioning model from dist-git branches
of the same names.
What about intermediate step: optional "fNN-upstream" branch in addition
to fNN, containing relevant upstream revision as git submodule
(preferably referencing fedorahosted mirror, but initially also allowing
"external" clones)?
Kind Regards,
