I like this idea.
Some jobs I can think of off hand:
- Investigate fixing broken deps in packages in stable releases.
This would include: Looking at the reason it's broken,
contacting maintainer and educating them, working on fixes.
- Investigate broken deps in rawhide (ditto above).
- Targeted packaging fixes. Ie, compile a list of packages that are
breaking a specific issue, contact maintainers to fix their packages,
followup and cleanup the ones that don't get fixed by a time.
- Help watch/gather info about updates and report back to fesco and/or
educate maintainers to our update guidelines.
- Gather info on Broken N-V-R upgrade paths and report back, come up
with ways to automate report and/or educate maintainers about it.
- Investigate current fedora installs on netbooks and report back the
experence and what we can do to improve it.
- Find VPS services that offer fedora instances and offer to help them
provide current ones instead of end of life ones.
- Triage package reviews (especially ones that are needsponsor).
Confirm the submittor still exists and ask them to do pre-reviews or
submit more than one package.
I would image fesco could ask some people do these kinds of things and
then get a weekly report on it at the meeting. If the person ran out of
time or needs more help, more or less resources could be allocated.
So, just a off the cuff thought I think it could be usefull or worth
trying.
