A while back, a few of us went through a mad rush to get our packages

EPEL. This lead to a number of situations where the main maintainer of a

Interesting. I did not know that a proven packager can bypass the
request-branch request check that requires the person the be in admin(?) list
of the package.
Recently some had a similar issue. Effectively packagers willing to maintain
EPEL packages cannot do it because of a lack of Fedora maintainer's blessing.
I'ld like to propose we create a perl-packagers-sig group so that
we can
have non-proven packagers being able to git push.
Do you mean a Pagure group <
https://src.fedoraproject.org/groups/>? I
thought
we already have perl-sig group for sending the notifications. Is that
a differnt class of groups?
I would prefer shorter "perl-sig" group name.
I'm not against, but I agree with Paul that it will hit the silent wall again.
