Hello all,
I was curious what everyone's thoughts would be on creating a
xfce-sig-packagers group (or some similar name) where everyone that's
a member is able to commit to all xfce packages DistGit (at least in
rawhide, but possibly in stable releases also if others think that's a
good idea). My main motivation for this is to try and increase
collaboration and share workload between members of the XFCE SIG who
handle packaging and maintenance of different components. Also, I hope
that this will motivate others to branch out and get involved in other
areas of XFCE if they are interested.
I'm not entirely sure what all we'll need to do to accomplish this if
everyone is on board but I do know that there are similar SIG
packaging groups like this for language stacks, desktop(gnome), and
kde so I suspect we can request a similar setup from the appropriate
group.
Questions, comments, and snide remarks are welcome. :)

This might be a good think assuming we have sufficient number of folks
(in the packagers group) interested. Even if not, testing and patches
(when things break) would be pretty nice undoubtedly. :)

If there are enough people (in the packagers group) willing to
participate we could do this using pkgdb group maintainership. There
may be better ways that I am not aware of though.
My two cents. :)

I'm not sure there's enough of us to make this worthwhile, but if you
all want to, we can.
I guess I'd say as it is now it's not worth it, but if we pick up a few
more packagers who want to help out accross the entire Xfce package set
it would probibly be worth it.
