I don't think there are any official guidelines about ACL
etiquette, but
the approach I've always taken before requesting ACLs is to first post a
comment on bugzilla or send an email to the owner(s) of the package to
ask if they'd be happy, just to be polite.
On quite a few occasions I've received an ACL request (or many) out of
the blue from a packager I haven't had any associated communication from
(via email or bugzilla). I just ignore these requests (and reject
eventually after giving them a chance to offer any form of communication).
Perhaps the fix for this is to have a comments field when requesting access
to a package so you can easily do it in one step rather than have to use
something else for the communications part.
Thanks,
