We give users a web form (Pagure) that invites human input, and then
an automatic-but-human-sounding-response that gives the same response
over and over, or eternal silence. There's no indication in the
comment that this is not a human, or a clear link to the source code
to improve anything about the situation.
See my comment in
https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/19865 . I hit a
despairing moment like you did. Interesting that you're able to
re-open your ticket, because I don't think my account has permission
to do that in this Pagure project.
Imagine if this was as easy as GitHub or GitLab, where I just click a
button to create a new repo, or I run "git push" to create a new
branch.
I miss the clarity and simplicity of Pkgdb.
I've mentored a new Fedora contributor through this process a while
ago, and this scm-admin part was the point at which they gave up.
I hate the scm-admin part. I hope we fix it... :(
