Hi Davide!

Welcome on board the packagers group!

Myself, Filipe and Michel are kicking off an effort within Facebook
to
try and get more of our OSS software packaged in Fedora. There's a
lot
of software on github.com/{facebook,facebookincubator} that's likely
of
general interest, but it can be difficult to use due to the web of
hard-to-build dependencies that is often required. We're hoping that
by
maintaining it in Fedora we'll be able to make it more accessible,
both
for users and for potential contributors.

This might be a good time to start discussing the possibility of having
"organization" ACLs (e.g. if a bunch of employees at FB, or Datto, or
another company -- or, say, an Apache project want to collectively
maintain packages).

Are you proposing "pkgdb" group such as:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/ruby-packagers-sig

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/nodejs-sig

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/virtmaint-sig

?

But groups can't be the "main admin" of a package.

Vít

An alternative would be for organizations to programmatically adjust
the ACLs for their packages, but I could imagine this can be error-
prone (what's stopping me from running said script against an unrelated
package I happen to have admin access to) and also doesn't provide
visibility that an upstream organization is committing to supporting
that package in Fedora?

Best regards,
