I splitted this from the SoC thread so the possible discussion doesn't |
| 2 |
add noise to the original thread. |

A lot of users don't feel comfortable using Bugzilla and often are |
| 13 |
lost with our procedures for keyword (both ~ and stable) requests. I |
| 14 |
think we could use an easy web interface for requesting specific |
| 15 |
keywords for packages in a point-and-click fashion. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So the user would just pick a package from the list, and check some |
| 18 |
boxes with the arch(es) she want to see in ~arch or stable. Then ATs |
| 19 |
could go for the ones that met the requirements, and even prioritize |
| 20 |
stabilisations depending on the number of users who have requested it. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I've been talking about it with some users and everyone agrees that |
| 23 |
they would like to have such an interface... |

What do you think about? Would it be easy to integrate it with |
| 26 |
packages.g.o or should it belong somewhere else? Do you think this is |
| 27 |
a suitable project for SoC? |
