Although metadata.xml is one way to do this, since it is more of a social thing than a technical one I think it might be better to wikify it instead -- each dev can list their "please fix my package" preferences in a per package or per anything-with-them-as-maintainer spec in one location. |

The previous round of this had a bunch of devs make comments to effect of its fine for any dev to commit changes as long as the committee takes responsibility for it, it'll take a bit of time but we can probably compile those from irc logs and -dev@ and start the list. Thoughts? |
