#564 Proven packager request
Closed None Opened 13 years ago by cosimoc.

= Qualifications =

I'm a GNOME developer, working for the RedHat Desktop team. I'm the upstream maintainer of Nautilus and gnome-utils, and am active with fixes and additions in many core GNOME modules such as gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-control-center, gnome-themes-standard and others.
In Fedora, I am the owner of a few GNOME-related packages (gnome-themes-standard, abattis-fonts-cantarell, gtk-theme-engine-clearlooks), and I have commit access to some of the GNOME desktop modules (most notably nautilus, rhythmbox, gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-utils).

= Rationale =

I think being in the provenpackager team would mean the follow advantages:
- Fedora would get updates and fixes in GNOME-related modules quicker
- Matthias, Bastien, Ray and the other members of the Desktop SIG would have a helping hand when it comes to building big batches of GNOME updates/rebuilds
- I would not have to bother someone from the Desktop SIG every time I find a patch to backport or a new version of some interesting package comes out.

Thanks!


Mailed out to sponsors for feedback. Thanks.

Afaics you want to be provenpacker to be able to commit to packages from the Desktop SIG. So why don't you just join it to get commit access there?

Adding meeting keyword here. There were some veto votes from sponsors.

Will discuss at tomorrow's fesco meeting.

I agree with the commenters on list. He should just apply as a co-maintiner on the desired packages. Maybe when he has a few package reviews and shows an understanding of the fedora packaging guidelines this can be revisited. -1 from me

This request is declined at this time.

Please get yourself added as co-maintainer on other desktop packages and revisit this down the road when more folks know your good work. Thanks.
