It'd be great if the fedpkg tool could do some of this. For
example, fedpkg
could create git repos locally, from a template and a few questions, for
new packages, which could be pushed somewhere for review (usually GitHub,
I'd imagine). It could even create the review bug automatically, as well as
assist in the review process for the reviewer (setting the correct flags).
Once approved and the package is created in pkgdb, git could be adjusted
automatically from a clone of this original repo created by the fedpkg tool.
This puts some burden on the reviewer to review not only the package, but
also the use of the packaging process: ensure that the user created the git
repo correctly. But, that might not be a bad thing. I was struck by how
"manual" the new package process was, and how "automated" everything
is
later. It's a big gap that could be closed with more tools on the "prepare
for review" side of things.
I think this is excellent idea.
(Mocked something already in response to Pierre)
On the other hand, I think that webui process should be kept (just for sake of
people who don't prefer CLI tools).
