I guess this "common need" is an example that be grouped under the heading of "packagers should be considered as custodians" (or "guardians"), instead of "owners". It was described in the thread[1] that you allude to. > All packagers are already able to build anything (except a very specific and > small set of specially-signed packages).

FWIW, sounds reasonable to me, assuming it's limited to Rawhide only for now. If that works well, then probably it can be extended to stable branches, based on the feedback from more active packagers. (I don't pretend to understand all the implications here :)) [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/URVJB22ITA7RPCMVOUBTQ6SB5D6JI4JX/ -- /kashyap -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
