The way I've been doing this is: - packages I maintain through herd -> go ahead and be responsible. - if I add myself explicitly in metadata.xml this means I prefer at least reviewing every change that gets in (with some exceptions for trivial changes, like e.g. qt moving category) [...] > - How do we encourage responsible ownership of changes that cause > breakage? [1] That's something I'd like to get enlightened on. The, probably too emotional, algorithm that doesn't scale I've been applying has been: 1. ask the committer to fix the problem 2. wait 3. if no fix comes in a timely manner, fix it myself, be clear that I've not liked it at all. Be a bit less polite in future steps 1. with said developer. Alexis.
