This DEP isn't about those -- are you saying that it ought to be extended? > I also don't like having more systems only a subset of contributors > can use. I share this concern, but it is easier for a DD to review a change and submit it to a next/foo branch than it is for a DD to review an NMU and try to figure out whether it makes sense for an upload to happen right now. So it's more accessible to those without upload rights than NMUs are at present. > Having a place where every contributor can publish merge requests is > nicer (one can still have a tool to make it easier to check commit > signatures using the Debian keyrings if one so desires). Not all packages have a repo on alioth, so even when alioth runs pagure and gains PRs, there won't always be a place to submit changes. With this DEP, there is a place to submit a next/foo branch for any package in the archive. -- Sean Whitton
