Well, even with provenpackagers, it's not like they will start committing
left and right into other people's packages. A co-maintainer is expected
to be the first person to step in when the other maintainer is unable to
do his job.
I was thinking here about to skip the maintainer/co-maintainer stuff at
all. Just one big bucket having everything in without different permissings
or roles.
I'd also make it mandatory for provenpackagers to be members of
at least
one SIG like KDE, Server, Games etc., i.e. ones that deal with certain
group of software packages so that their area of expertise is at least
somewhat defined.
Interesting idea. But to which SIG would you assign me when looking to my
wiki page, my interests and which packages I'm maintaining? Or do I need to
found my own SIG for that then? I don't need to be a provenpackager, but I
am also playing theoretical scenarios.
