puppet maintainer list/packages for 0.25.0-rc1
Nigel Kersten
for puppet 0.25.0-rc1, that would hugely increase the number of users
testing it....
which led me to think that we might need a puppet-maintainers list? I
mean we can co-ordinate on the puppet-dev list if people prefer, but I
can see some benefits in having a targeted list.
It would be great if we could get everything in order so that we
always have release candidate packages available. Our .0 releases
should be much better then...

Another project I'm involved with has a -release mailing list where the
packagers and regular testers can collaborate more easily. It facilitates
things like identifying the show-stopper bugs for a particular release, making
sure basic smoke testing is done, making sure all packages are ready, etc.
A -dev list can be used for that, though. I don't have a strong preference
either way.

Feel free to subscribe me for any list created for this purpose, if we
end up wanting/needing one. I don't have any strong opinion on
whether we need a separate list or if puppet-dev is suitable. I think
I lean slightly to keeping things here, but then, I've generally had
enough time to follow this list. I realize many maintainer might not.
Perhaps just adding a [MAINTAINERS] tag to the subject of package
related mail would suffice to let busier maintainers keep up?
(I'm working on 0.25.0rc1 packages for Fedora/RHEL/CentOS today. I'll
post a reply to the announce mail when I get those finished and posted
to my repo.)
