The only downfall is you end up with lots of package/developer specific |
| 6 |
policies which may become complex and a nuisance. It is likely better to have |
| 7 |
more of a global policy. |

Also it may start inching things towards restricting areas of the tree to said |
| 10 |
members of teams etc. Which starts to go in the opposite direction of Gentoo's |
| 11 |
roots of wide open access. To specifically encourage others to touch others |
| 12 |
stuff, and help everything move along faster. Development wise, not ricing out |
| 13 |
binaries... |

I do think something like a maintainers notes URI in a metadata.xml file would |
| 16 |
be of use for many reasons. Not putting a bunch of rules or stuff in the |
| 17 |
metadata.xml file. |
