I am trying to be as polite as possible. And respectful to work of
maintainers.
Rel-engs bumping release because of mass-rebuild is trivial thing and
doing direct push is right thing.
But is the change of the license string trivial thing? I do not know. If
most people (and FESCO) tell me "yeah, push
directly" then I can push directly. PRs are definitelly more work for me
(and owners of this proposal). But I am willing
to do that.
Yes, please push directly. I completely agree with Zbigniew and don't
think that PRs work super well for mass changes like this. However, this
definitely needs FESCo approval first and communication (
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Mass_package_changes/) before
pushing.
Package changes are tracked in git and it's trivial for a
package maintainer to revert it for an individual package if needed.
