My user, samcday, cannot be added to projects in src.fp.o as a co-maintainer.
Both @davidsch and @lihis have attempted to add me to the squeekboard and phoc packages respectively, and in both cases they received an error message that I am "not part of the packagers" group.
But I am a member of the packager group, according to both FAS, and even src.fp.o itself :interrobang:
@lihis was able to add me with "ticket" permission to phoc, but continues to receive an error when trying to upgrade my role to committer. I've requested that he post a screenshot in case that's useful.
phoc
I've also tried logging out and in again - though I don't think that's the issue here since I've been in the packager group for many months now. I have maintainer status on some packages already, though notably only new ones that I created through fedpkg request-repo.
fedpkg request-repo
I was about the capture the complete error message but now the adding worked without errors. Was something fixed already?
Bizarre. @james and/or @kevin were directly messing with my membership/role in the phoc package a few minutes before you reported this success. So I dunno if that's somehow "unstucked" me.
@james had confirmed at 1342+0100 today that I was indeed in the packager group, and I'm pretty sure this is when I'd already tried to re-login just to be sure. At 1346+0100 I asked Tomi to try changing my membership again (which was unsuccessful).
So, I dunno. It's either "Sam didn't try the obvious thing properly" or "the database is possessed by evil spirits". One seems much more likely than the other, of course :)
I was encouraged by @james to keep this issue open for now until I get confirmation from @davidsch that he was able to add me to squeekboard as a co-maintainer successfully.
Did you re-login on src.fp.o? Groups memberships are refreshed upon login, so if you don't re-login after being added to a group (here the packager group), then src.fp.o won't know about your new membership. If you re-logged in recently that probably explains how it started working recently :)

I had tried that after advice in the Matrix channel, yeah. The confusion was that I misunderstood a reply from Tomi as to whether he had tried again to add me (he hadn't) and so I assumed there was a deeper issue here.
At any rate, David was able to add me to squeekboard so this issue is resolved, thanks again ya'll and sorry to waste your time!
