As I understand that page, the updates are currently not reserved to
any package maintainer. Anyone can make a git fork, and then request
an update in a bugzilla. I guess the manual step of pulling that
fork
will include a judgement if someone is doing something silly.
Have I got this right?
yes and no, package manager is the man which should do the updates ,
but if is not responsive, we open one bugzilla ticket and wait some
time, after, it is allowed receive updates from other people. And yes,
when we merge pull request, we verify if is not something silly ,
preferably just simple and stable updates .
If so, how is default bugzilla owner assigned these days? That was
the other part of becoming a maintainer of a package as I understood
it. Is there a way to transfer that nowadays, or will that be done
when other more urgent infrastructure work is done?
(If assignments are still done, I am willing to take over
mythtv-status maintenance, since the previous maintainer has stepped
down: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3594#c1 What I
wanted to do right now has already been done by Antonia and Sérgio,
but I can keep an eye on this in the future. Should be pretty easy
considering the quite calm development rate.:-))
You may request on sysadmin(a)lists.rpmfusion.org , emmanuel Seyman can
change the default assign for the bugzilla component, but I can't
guarantee if process works or not , depends on others opinions and may
have implications that I'm not aware.
Well bugzilla have good tools to search and you can save the searches.
I saved some searches like monitor all bugs that are opened on "Fedora
product"
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&list_i
d=9003&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_st
atus=REOPENED&product=Fedora
Last but not least, do you approve the update (as the maintainer of the
package) ?
