Hi, |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
First of all let me express my gratitude on what you did! It's a |
| 41 |
really nice effort towards the right direction. However, I feel there |
| 42 |
is a bit of overlap with the proxy-maintainers[1] repository. On the |
| 43 |
readme file you suggest to not commit anything to this git repository |
| 44 |
(not even merge pull requests). So what's the purpose of having the |
| 45 |
pull requests in the first place? I believe, in order to avoid |
| 46 |
confusion, users should use the proxy-maintainers repository for pull |
| 47 |
requests for the packages they maintain. Otherwise, just stick to the |
| 48 |
bugzilla for ebuilds that have developers as maintainers. I believe we |
| 49 |
are running into the risk of having too many places for user |
| 50 |
contributions, and that will make maintenance a nightmare because you |
| 51 |
will have devs taking care of proxy-maint pull requests, and then |
| 52 |
others taking care of the rsync-git mirror pull requests. I believe |
| 53 |
you need to rethink the proposed workflow. |
