A lot of users don't feel comfortable using Bugzilla and often are lost with our procedures for keyword (both ~ and stable) requests. I think we could use an easy web interface for requesting specific keywords for packages in a point-and-click fashion. So the user would just pick a package from the list, and check some boxes with the arch(es) she want to see in ~arch or stable. Then ATs could go for the ones that met the requirements, and even prioritize stabilisations depending on the number of users who have requested it. I've been talking about it with some users and everyone agrees that they would like to have such an interface... What do you think about? Would it be easy to integrate it with packages.g.o or should it belong somewhere else? Do you think this is a suitable project for SoC? Regards, Santiago -- Santiago M.
