That doesn't help much.
It would be great, when bodhi would allow me to add an updated
mozilla-noscript to the firefox update, when I notice, that the new
firefox upadate in testing breaks it.
Otherwise, firefox is pushed to stable more faster, than
mozilla-noscript and it's broken for some time, till it was long
enought in updates-testing.
It is possible to add packages to updates; the issue is permissions. I'm
not entirely sure how it works at present, but it's _something_ like
'only people who are explicitly maintainers of one of the packages in
the initial update set can edit the update'. Notably, there is no
provenpackager exemption for editing updates: provenpackagers can't edit
any update as you might expect.
There obviously is a _legitimate_ question as to whether you ought to be
able to add your package into anyone else's update if you aren't a
provenpackager; it's not necessarily something we'd want to do. But I
think provenpackagers probably should be allowed to edit any update.
It's NOT possible to push it faster out there, because I usually
don't
get much karma. For the last update, I got 2 new bug reports, that
noscript is broken, but not a single +1 karma for the same issue,
although linking in both bug reports and being in updates-testing
anyways...
It does seem to be the case that negative karma is easier to come by
than positive, yeah. I'm not sure there's much we can do about this
besides 'game' the rules to account for it, as we're doing already to
some extent.
