Hi Miro,

The problem is to get everything properly tested. Specially I'm reproducing
my own koji instance (currently used for arm port), but it's not using
pkgdb/bodhi yet and the koji policy isn't there. Right now I'm working on
testing git/koji/ansible bridging.

That been said, from the packager perspective. I want to rely emphasis that
the bottle neck isn't in the infra side. There are still lot of pending
packages hanging for review and that's really make me sick not to have them
in.

Also despite the plague infra isn't certainly outdated and I'm working on
the move, it's probably more efficient and requires less resources to work
than koji does, specially as we don't need to regen-repo each time the
external repo have changed. So that's something that can eventually be
worked on by someone else:
- having a script that detect the external-repo for each build target,
store earch repomd.xml timestamp to immediately send a koji regen-repo
command for any change. That would avoid the need to mirror the whole
upstream fedora repo.

Also another task is to right now allow a bridge from cvs2git for the
packager work. I know ktdreyer also use that to maintain xbmc, but I
haven't seen anything appearing into the rpmfusion-packager package.

Also an unknown task is to convert the multilibs x86_64 plague config. I
expect mash will handle the repo generation, but I don't know how to
specify where to copy the steam.i686 (and others multilibs corner cases) to
the x86_64 repository.

So it's just a few issues. Probably most could be sorted into the bugzilla,
so anyone can pick simple task that do not need special access.
Here is the tracker bug I've just set:
