This is to announce that the privilege escalation policy which has been under discussion and revision in the QA and development groups, and in FESCo, for the last few weeks has been approved at today's FESCo meeting[1].
The policy can be found here for now:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Privilege_escalation_policy
Please take it into account in future packaging work.
I believe the policy should be referenced in the packaging guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines
and should be renamed to:
Packaging:Privilege_escalation_policy
However, I do not have the privileges to perform either of these actions. If someone with the appropriate privileges could do these for me, it would be appreciated.
