Devs,
This seems like a good time to get the ball fully rolling on the package signoffs page: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/signoffs/
I and a few others would like to make this the goto for signoffs- fewer emails, easier to see at a glance what signoffs are pending, etc. Given we have a large set of packages in [testing] right now for some [core] signature rebuilds, this seems like an ideal time to get some feedback so we can fully migrate to using this page.
So this is a call for (constructive) feedback on what more I need to implement to make it useful to all of you. A list below is things already on the todo list that definitely need to be done; if there are other things that *need* to be done, please let me know. If there are other things that would be nice, let me know too, but that might be worth a feature request that can be worked on after we switch.
Must haves: * A way to cancel a signoff * Signoff "blacklist" or modification- basically say "this package doesn't need signoffs, just remove it from display" * A daily summary email saying "hey gang, here are today's pending signoffs"
+1. And +1 to a "red flag"/block feature to ensure packages that nuked someone's system won't be moved until this is resolved. By the way, are TUs encouraged to give their sign-offs as well or is this a dev-only thing? Oh, how will we handle user sign-offs in the future (I remember that these were asked for a few times)? Replies to the daily summary mails?
