This overlay would not have a review process for ebuilds, meaning that every contributor that has passed the first stage (by submitting a few ebuilds in bugzilla) will be granted access. that way users will: * get experience on actually committing stuff to a tree * learn how to use tools like repoman and git (think of the future ;)) it will also be better for us. moving packages from the overlay to tree will be simpler, also tracking versions and package status will be easier. > 2) I think an email alias is not needed We can "monitor" maintainer-wante= d/- > needed alias if needed. What do you think? If we go with the new overlay, I think we'll need an alias where the users can ask for help and talk about their packages. > 3) Maybe a new KEYWORD needs to be added on bugzilla so ppl get informed = that=20 > the specific bug is already taking by another developer and that somebody= is=20 > working on it. So marking a bug with a keyword e.g. "PROXY" might be usef= ul. Thats not a bad idea. Another solution would be to assign the bugs to proxy-maintainers@g.o. --=20 Alex Alexander :: wired Gentoo Developer www.linuxized.com --f2QGlHpHGjS2mn6Y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkujMGUACgkQCtniI/gSTScttwCeJ9/S966GYgBvh2kFfUSXMQPV FFEAoKy0mwNbCl0VP4ujfDWVY3VKK4Su =y7YC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --f2QGlHpHGjS2mn6Y--
