[gentoo-project] RFC: Gentoo Proxy Maintaining Team

[Markos Chandras]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Hi all,

As promised a while ago, I created an initial project page for
proxy-maintainers[1]. The goal of this team is to gather all developers,
who are willing to act as proxy maintainers, under a single mail alias.
A user who is willing to maintain an abandoned package should contact
this team and one of us will step up and assist him. I have created a
portage feature request report, to add a warning message when a user
emerges a package assigned to maintainer-needed@gentoo.org.[2]

This project will be a QA subproject, like treecleaners are.

FYI: A mail alias already exists.

Those two are not equal. The alias on woody says proxy-maint. Are all
docs consistent in the name?

I was not aware of the alias and I don't even know who created and for
what purpose. If someone can give me some information about that I would
be grateful. In any case, if this is a ghost alias, I guess I can use that

I know that. I plan to remove this section from treecleaners because it
is not easy for users to find individual developers. It is better if
they send an email to an alias and some of us will step up. Plus, this
bit is not relevant to treecleaners

The project is now live. I will use the proxy-maint@ alias like you
suggested :)

what proxy-maintainers need to really be effective is a way to handle patch 
queues where any user is allowed to submit to the queue, any Gentoo dev is 
allowed to approve, and the infrastructure takes care of the commit.  ive been 
using gerrit these last few weeks and it seems like it'd be a pretty useful 
tool for exactly this.  it allows anyone to easily do code review inline with 
the patch.
