[gentoo-dev] GLEP: Standardizing "arch" keywording across all archs

Thanks to all who assisted in the "tentative x86 arch team glep" thread.
It's now an official GLEP (as I abuse my GLEP-editor powers to add my
own GLEP to the site), and it should be up on glep.gentoo.org soon.  If
I've misrepresented your views, please do let me know so that I can fix
the GLEP.

I'd like to go ahead and push this GLEP to the council for a vote at the
next meeting (which I assume will be sometime in the next twenty-two
days).

A few things are a bit unclear to me. Rewording would be enough, it
doesn't touch the meaning of the GLEP.

What's the definition of a "non-arch dev"? Is it a dev not in an arch
team?

And the final paragraph:
"Ciaranm and weeve have noted that it is occasionally necessary for arch
teams to override a package maintainer when it comes to stabling a
package. Stuart has asserted that in those cases the arch team should be
willing to take on the support burden for that package."

Overriding here means stabling before the maintainer does it, not
keeping it in unstable while the maintainer wants to mark it stable,
right?

Regards,
Maurice.

That would be my understanding.

Mostly us needing to stabilize sooner, but in some cases the opposite is
true as well (for instance cases where it works for some but not
others).

The following does not apply to that case:

Oh, never mind, it does. If the currently stable version has some
problems and the new stable version fixes those, the support is for the
problems in the old stable version.
