So, if I call up another dev on the phone and tell them they have a typo in an ebuild, and they fix it and commit it, nothing has gone wrong. That isn't the most efficient way to work usually, but there is no policy against it. In general users should file bugs and not contact devs directly, but if somebody has a private arrangement otherwise, no harm no foul. Github is just another overlay. If in the course of working on the next kde release the kde team makes 385 changes to their overlay, we don't make them log and close 385 bugs on b.g.o before they merge in the files from the overlay. So, if a team wants to use non-official tools, by all means go ahead. The QA standards apply to anything hitting the main tree, and must be followed at that point in time. We should keep our tools working well, but if in some case there is a better way of working, or a small team has some other preference, well, have at it! Rich
