Well, in practice, a provenpackager can usually get away with just pushing
stuff as long as nobody complains, and in particular with just pushing
pretty much anything to effectively unmaintained packages. :-) And I don't
really see a problem with that. As long as you are not making anybody
Well, the main problem is that then they don't really see any of the
consequences of their actions, at least from users. ie, provenpackager
pushes to unmaintained package, users file bugs, but since no one is
watching those, nothing happens. Of course even if the package is
maintained there's not any promise, but at least a maintainer should see
what happened...
