Esteemed ArchLinux Developers,
Partially because Aaron asked for it and thinks it is cool and partially because all those [signoff] e-mails in my inbox are kind of boring to me (as a non-packager), I have implemented a web based signoff mechanism into archweb_dev.
Nice work! I think this is a great idea too.
I only see one potential problem...what if someone accidentaly clicks signoff on the wrong package? For instance, I didn't really test the cracklib, but I couldn't resist the urge to click it!
I can easily add 'unsignoff' functionality, but I'm not sure its necessary; this isn't the general public we're talking about and an e-mail to the maintainer saying "Ignore my signoff on package x" might suffice.
But its up to you guys, its probably a matter of 10 minutes to add a view for removing a signoff.
Dusty Well, that would be a great addition, and also, packages from core are

We should keep the packages from extra on the list as it can always be useful for packages like the servers or the kernel modules. What would be nice would be to seperate the core packages from the extra packages and to have the core packages listed first as they are the ones requiring signoffs. If it's too hard/impossible to do, then keeping them in alphabetical order is fine. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
