Re: [gentoo-releng] mode #gentoo-releng +m

[Jeffrey Forman]

Ballerina Benni and releng,

I would have absolutely no problem making releng +m. On another note,
during releases, I would even think #-releng should go +i, so that dev's
can get stuff done. As you can see, I changed the topic to something
different in there because users were coming in bugging that they wanted
2004.2. During non-release periods, having it -mi helps with users
coming in with specific livecd questions, some things have been solved
that way. But during release periods, I need to know that I can say "hey
guys, i'm pushing 2004.2 out" and I dont have users crawling up my ass
asking "is it ready? is it ready? can i test?" I believe zhen is the
owner of the channel if my chanserv memory serves me correctly. If he
wants to delegate op-giving permissions to a couple guys, I would
happily bear that responsibility. 

my 2 cents,
jeffrey
