[gentoo-dev] Bugzilla package list editing

[Mart Raudsepp]

Hello,

I would like to point out that the package list is under the
responsibility of the maintainers whose packages are getting
stabilized, and therefore at least after the point architectures are
CC'ed by maintainer, this field is completely off limits for any non-
maintainer edits whatsoever.

This is just like it was prior to this package list field existing with
long package lists in attachments or short lists in comments. No non-
maintainer was supposed to be going around and changing these things,
nor did they really.
However I constantly get these changed on me now with the package list
feature and I need to constantly go reverting them around with a re-
copypaste from my separate text file with the list (which I mostly need
to keep separately due to aforementioned non-maintainer edits).

Please stop editing package lists when you are not the maintainer and
arches are already CCed.
Alternatively I am forced to start using attachments again (now with
the stabilization list flag), which is more inconvenient to get updates
in by the maintainer.


Thank you,
Mart
