Thanks! +1

mattdm commented 3 years ago

Thanks! But, should this be scoped to package-maintaining bots, or made more general?

zbyszek commented 3 years ago

What other bot types would there be that would be covered by "Package maintainer responsibilities"?

mattdm commented 3 years ago

Assuming you mean not covered, e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Issuebot and for that matter https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:zodbot

Obviously some things like package updates don't apply, but other things like "create the user wiki page" and "releng (infra, whoever) can disable it if there are problems" seem general.

That said, don't let me suggesting this stop recording the specific thing to start, if it seems better to just do that.

zbyszek commented 3 years ago

I did mean "covered": this text is part of a document about "package maintainer responsibilities". Thus it can't really cover zodbot. But I think it makes sense to make the text more general, without constraining it just to "package updates". I reworded it, ptal.

zbyszek commented 3 years ago

I'll merge this without further ado. There have been no comments in the last month.
