What if we made the options be about _the package_ rather than about the maintainer's prickliness? Rather than "Please don't touch my package" (I know that's not your wording; added for emphasis) make it "This package has unusual complications; please coordinate any changes with the package maintainers." Well, except, less wordy. :) And, in thinking about it, I don't think we should encourage the option of "Don't even ask". If there really _is_ something that's a big deal, the package maintainer can always say no when asked. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
