Hi, Debian does not have a good way to manage projects that require changes to large numbers of source packages to be successful. Handling projects like that currently requires buy-in from each individual package maintainer; if the project does not manage to convince sufficient numbers of maintainers, it is liable to fail. [...] Does any of that make sense? Thanks, -- w@uter.{be,co.za} wouter@{grep.be,fosdem.org,debian.org} I will have a Tin-Actinium-Potassium mixture, thanks.
HiWhat you are writing makes sense to me. However, to me it sounds a bit like a "technical solution to a social problem".
This solution relies on the assumption that everyone in the project automatically "accepts" the solution with no hard feelings. Yet, I feel that our primary issue is that despite TC ruling and GRs, we have contributors that do not "accept" the solutions nor the process outcomes to end the conflict - and I do not see what would make people accept this process as a end of the conflict (when a GR could not).
Thanks, ~Niels
