#3259 New mailing list, component owner
Closed: Fixed Opened by jcm.

= bug description =

I would like to request the creation of a "kmod-maint@lists.fedoraproject.org" list, and for the "kmod" package to become owned by this list (e.g. the BZ component should be assigned to this list). This will allow collective ownership between a few of us, which is preferred over individuals owning such packages. I created the Fedora "kmod" package originally, and I (as does Kay) approve this change wholeheartedly. Basically, the same setup as udev-maint or systemd-maint is being looked for here, but with kmod-maint instead. Thanks!


@jcm do you want the list @lists.fedoraproject.org or @lists.fedorahosted.org?

hosted admins, could one of you setup this mailing list? I'll take care of setting it up in the packagedb from there.

The perl-maint and newly created virt-maint groups are lists.fedoraproject.org. I'm not sure it really matters either way, but kmod isn't a fedorahosted project. Maybe lists.fp.org just for consistency?

If it is not a fedorahosted project I'd say l.fp.org

Yea. Can you guys set up the list on l.fp.o? I apologize if my original message wasn't clear, or if I should use a different process for requesting such lists. Anyway, this would be awesome, thanks.

This list is all setup:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kmod-maint

jcm: you should have received a msg about it.

Okay, packagedb should now be updated with the new owner. New bugs filed against the kmod package should be assigned to the list. You will probably need to create a new bugzilla user "kmod-maint@lists.fedoraproject.org" and set your new mailing list to allow messages from bugzilla.

Thank you so much! I have created the BZ account and added the other parties as admins on the kmod-maint mailing list. I also tried resetting the two open bugs to the "default owner", which was still jonathan@jonmasters.org. I know you said that this would be fixed for newly filed stuff...so maybe it's automagical. Otherwise, do we need the BZ folks to ensure the newly created "kmod-maint@lists.fedoraproject.org" user is the default for the "kmod" Fedora component? If it will just happen automatically for new stuff, we're all set (I took care of the two existing bugs).

It is automatic. I just tested a new bug and it assigned to the correct owner so it looks to be working. Reassigning to default owner should also work. It does sync from the packagedb to bugzilla on a cron job and it isn't able to sync if the account doesn't exist in bugzilla. So a possible reason that didn't work was that the bugzilla account was created, you tried to use default owner and it failed, then the cron job ran and synced the new ownership information over. Let me know if you see more strange behaviour.
