Can we help steer those people into understanding Bodhi? It's not like
a deep knowledge of all things Fedora is required.
I do not have any good suggestion, other than reducing the long
period
of testing to the Fedora defaults (7 days). A better approach would be
to tie more to centos processes, and allow centos registered users to
give karma and test, but I have no idea how feasible it is, and whether
centos users will actually get involved in EPEL.
I think we should be able to do federated authentication with CentOS
and accept CentOS accounts as valid for meaningful karma. But I'd
really rather encourage just getting Fedora accounts and helping draw
people who are in the Fedora community though EPEL into more close
connections.
