That has actually come up on IRC a lot of times over the last couple years, users asking how to sign-off packages / if they can help signing-off.
I've already got 4 people willing to help, but nobody here voiced an opinion on this matter yet. Do we want such tester from a dev/TU perspective?
That sounds like the best idea so far. It also gives users running [testing] some kind of a purpose besides the fun of the occasional breakage.
I think we should not promote person as developer because their main work is to test packages. This seems more "support staff" position.
If we want to keep the explicit feedback, we could also open signoffs to our community. The feedbacks will be more representative as only few selected people will test their own needs.
Cheers,
No one said anything about promoting such users to developers. That would be new role just with signoffs permissions. Bartłomiej
