From: anthraxx <anthraxx@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Levente Polyak <anthraxx@archlinux.org> --- The discussion period for the addition of a new TU is too short. After having some chats on this topic with multiple TUs it seemed like a general consensus to extended the dicussion period to 14 days, hence this proposal. 5 days are rarely enough to discuss all details with the applicant taking into account that f.e. lots of packages need to be reviewed. Once feedback was given to the applicant there shall be enough time to work through it, potentially research, apply and/or discuss things out of the feedback. Given the fact that many people, including the applicant, may be in the middle of a work week (or otherwise busy), having only 5 days to do one or multiple feedback loops is unrealistic and too much pressure. Considering the fact that it is an essential part for a TU to be able to decide on the vote as well as for the applicant to have enough time and the possibility to respond properly to the input an adjusted discussion period of 14 days shall be appropriate. --- tu-bylaws.txt | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tu-bylaws.txt b/tu-bylaws.txt index 27e4804..d32e06c 100644 --- a/tu-bylaws.txt +++ b/tu-bylaws.txt @@ -104,10 +104,10 @@ In order to become a TU, one must first find a sponsoring TU, and arrange privately with them to announce their candidacy on the https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-general[aur-general] mailing list.
