Not sure. I think it has to do with the fact that the perl-SIG isn't a
legal entity, and thus, cannot sign the CLA.
Hmm, is this a technical limitations
of the fedora infrastructure or a
legal issue? I would not understand the latter.
As is, its really not an issue, as I don't intend to put acls on
anything, its merely a question of who wants to see the bugzillas
personally as opposed to through the perl-SIG email.
So you indent to assign
ownership to yourself but to allow perl-sig
member to work on your packages?
IMO, this doesn't encourage "perl-sig seniors" to work on these
packages, because it doesn't make the difference between "collectively
maintained" packages and packages being maintained by "individuals who
will shoot" when touching your packages apparent.
OK, the latter group could apply ACLs, but ... you are loosing the
"marketing factor" of "collective maintainership".
