This is complete BS. Maybe one or three messages a month pop up on internal
lists, and those are immediately redirected to external lists. The idea that
we have long and involved threads regarding core on some hidden lists is
completely false.
* weird procedures by which Red Hat's Fedora Core package owners
need
sponsorship for cvs_extras and either get blanket approval or are
really "sponsored" by community contributors without that the
sponsors' responsibilities and duties are documented,
Yes, because it is quite difficult to define what is needed for CURRENT
maintainers. All our policies are designed around NEW maintainers joining
the fold. Many of these RH employees were already in the fold as
maintainers.
* more closed circles, in which decisions are made -- including
mysteries
like brew, koji, and code transfer for the new Updates System,
These decisions were made at the Fedora summit, with the Fedora board and
other community folks, complete with an IRC channel during the live
discussions. Further discussion has happened in Fedora board meetings and
public Fedora lists.
* unclear role of FESCo, not enough steering -- instead: the drive
that "you don't need to be in FESCo to get something done",
I don't even know what you mean by this.
