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!
Maybe if you accidently signoff on a package you should be responsible for actually testing the package then, thus getting rid of the necessity to unsignoff.
Sometimes that's not possible, for example if its a kernel module for a wireless card you don't have or if you signed off for x86_64 when all your machines are i686.
Well then, you'd better buy the hardware dammit! You took responsibility when you clicked that button! You should be more careful where you click you dirty button pusher!
