Hello.
With the recent discussions about provenpackagers in Fedora, I recently got an
idea.
One of the common needs for provenpackagers is to simply "bump and rebuild" a
set of dependencies.
All packagers are already able to build anything (except a very specific and
small set of specially-signed packages). However, to bump the package, they
need commit rights. For that reason, provenpackager rights are often required.
With the wide adoption of %autorelease, such bump commits are empty, which
should be easy to verify.
What if we allowed all packagers to push empty commit to any package? That
should eliminate *some* need for provenpackager access. We would also
communicate in our policies that such bumps do not require prior agreement with
the maintainers to avoid confusion about "what are we allowed to do".
