There's a middle-ground here which I like, myself. 1.5) the package x maintainer(s) is responsible to find all packages y and posts a todo list on the dashboard
I like this method, but at the same time, it requires one to constantly scan the todo lists to see if a package of yours is there.
A slight variation on this is to the todo list + what Damir did.. post to a todo list and *also* put a post on the arch-dev-public list. This way people get push notification, and also a place to track what they've done and what they haven't.
I like this one.
So ok, let me propose this: With rebuilds, it's the library maintainer's job to find all dep packages. There are then two choices: * build everything yourself, if you feel like it (yay!) * make a todolist and post on the arch-dev-public ML so we know that there is a new rebuild todolist.
Sound like a good process?
+1 from me.
