Inherit develpackage users/groups/roles on Webui::PackageController#users #15591

Open DimStar77 opened 8 months ago

This is not really a 'bug' in that 'something does not work as designed' - rather an RFC for a design change (or additional information to be printed on the webui)

It happens quite frequently that fly-by package bug reporters go to openSUSE:Factory/$pkg and find the 'maintainer' of the package in the Users tab there. From a workflow PoV, this sounds perfectly legit

Unfortunately, the information presented to the user here is not exactly the information they are after: in openSUSE:Factory. the 'maintainers' (people with write access) are the release managers (not actually the maintainers of the packages)

It would be a good idea if the actual maintainership information could be presented (as information) when the package has a developed-at flag defined. This could hopefully guide those people to the information they are actually after.

Would you want the maintainers from the devel package to be displayed instead of the maintainers or additionally?

And I take it that this causes work on the release managers side? Can you quantify this? Like every day? Once a week? Seldomly?

I get a query like this about every other week - sometimes it's lower, sometimes more. But the gist is always the same: they followed the webui to find the maintainer and found me.

I guess in addition - like not in the same table though.

Add a 'table' in front of that with the 'package maintainers' (and/or even a link to bugzilla might work. after all, most of the time they seem to try to report an issue with the package - report a bug is not even an option in openSUSE:Factory/$pkg; only on the devel prj/pkg)

We do have this as part of larger "collaboration" project (basically stealing from osc collab + labeling): https://trello.com/c/9INRF6go

I guess we can move this bit forward outside of it before. Let's see...
