I know too little about all the steps required on the developer side |
6 |
when adding a new package, even though I have authored some new packages |
7 |
|

However, to free up developer capacity, it seems to me that giving the |
9 |
volunteer contributors more responsibility for simple changes like |
10 |
version bumps should help. It should be possible to automatically |
11 |
determine if the previous ebuild was simply copied, which is what I do |
12 |
when version bumping, and remains otherwise unchanged. |

You already mentioned your GURU idea. Having a gitolite-backed |
15 |
repository where volunteers can commit simple changes if they are listed |
16 |
as maintainers in metadata.xml, and having these changes integrated by |
17 |
some automatism, might help, even if it does not address brand new |
18 |
packages. |
