handle ALLARCHES packages specially

[DerDakon]

Something marked ALLARCHES for me usually means "I'll ignore it and let the maintainer stabilize it for everyone". If you are the maintainer for you this would probably mean "I need a different commit script". Currently ALLARCHES packages aren't handles specially in any way, which smells like it is always wrong.

ALLARCHES I take to mean "if I'm the first arch team to handle this stable request, I'll stabilize it for all the arches CCed, not just my own"

[DerDakon]

Which is the second case and is fine.

I think we need GLEP 72 to be implemented to do this right (or just have ekeyword implement it).

I think one could propose a patch to implement the suggested functionality, and get council (possibly QA) to ratify it, then commit the patch, and off-we-go ?

This is correct.

I don't think we need to wait for this - an architecture need not be stable to make use of stable keywords.

This can be implemented as soon as a patch is available. No external approval is required.

nattka handles this for us now, excellent! Note that the council already ratified ALLARCHES: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/data/glep.git/commit/?id=6f4d97c0db20af6e3d75063b118f3756983a589a.

That probably means one would need to use nattka in the commit script, right? Can you provide an example or a patch?
