We have no recourse for punishment. Frankly, that's not a great plan anyway. We should focus on collaboration and education, not punitive actions. I would rather focus on fixing the packages. If the primary contact can't or won't do it, then a provenpackager should be able to fix it instead. If there's a persistent issue with reverts of those kinds of changes or something, we can figure it out later. josh -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
