Is there a clearly good reason that we need to
continue this review
process? If not, I find it very frustrating that we're slowing things down
so much because of imagined boogie-men. The idea of
permission-just-in-case-someone-does-a-bad-thing is opposed to the wiki
model of keeping things as open as possible and addressing problems as they
happen. In the meantime, we're encouraging bad behavior by making the
OAuth system such a pain to work with. I understand that you're doing this
in your free time csteipp, but the pain of delays is still inflicted on
tool developers all the same. Maybe it is inappropriate that such a key
infrastructure (and official requirement for Labs-based tools) is left up
to volunteer time of someone who is apparently overworked.
I'm very happy for other people to join this process. I believe there's an
open bug about making approvals automatic for non-controversial rights.
Patches welcome.
1. How long is this transition process supposed to
take?
Not defined yet.
2. Should I start making my argument to the
Stewards now?
About what? If you have something that's not controversial, ping one of the
admins, and I'm sure you can get your Consumer approved today.
3. Is there a public conversation about this
transition that I can
participate in?
The RFC is the correct place. The Stewards are just getting back from
travelling so I don't think we've started updating it to account for our
conversations last week, but that is where we will work out the details.
