[gentoo-dev] Sunrise trusted committers with bugzilla access

[Stefan Schweizer <genstef@gentoo.org>]

To my fellow Gentoo developers,

in the Sunrise project we have some users who are ambitious and cotribute
more than a few ebuilds. Those regulars have the possibility to take the
ebuild quiz and acquire the title "Sunrise trusted committer". Those
sunrise committers can use extended bugzilla permissions to edit keywords
EBUILD and REQUEST for example in the maintainer-wanted@ and
maintainer-needed@ bugzilla region where usually developers clean up litle
or have no interest in spending time on.

Now I tried to get this done with the "[GLEP] Bugzilla access for
contributors" and I was told it is to undefined and misses out the point of
removing access levels again. Also I was told that a GLEP for this is
overkill.

All this is addressed and working with the current arch testers procedure.
The plan is to just treat Sunrise trusted committers the same as arch or
herd testers. The difference is that they operate on ebuilds of all
flavours that interest themself in the sunrise overlay and not on a certain
herd of packages. Neither do they focus on testing for a specific
architecture. Just coding is their work, not testing - which explains the
difference in the name.

Now how do people feel about this approach?
