i was referring to step #2 of the new procedure steps on the "Incoming Distros"
wiki article
1) The process begins with an application sent to <address@hidden> for an
initial review. ...
2) Once the webmasters have completed their initial check, they will send the
distro to the Workgroup for fully free GNU/Linux distributions mailing list for
a full review.
3) Each distro at this point will be assigned an "application manager", ...
clearly, the confusion here is rooted in the ambiguity of: "they will send the
distro to the Workgroup" - there is surely little confidence or noise reduction
in the distro itself writing to the mailing list declaring: "GNU said so ..." -
even if a reference to a GNU webmaster ticket is supplied, it is not verifiable
AFAIK because that is not a public issue tracker - i would suggest that the GNU
server standards and step #2 of the evanluation protocol be ammended to
explicitly require the GNU webmaster who gave the initial approval to confirm
that to this mailing list using a gnu.org email address - surely that is not
too much extra to ask for the sake of rigour
and i do wish people would stop throwing the "beureacratic" around - the
purpose of the new procedure is to ensure that all distros are given fair
treatment in a verifiable way by eliminating any blind spots that could invite
suspicion of favoritism or discrimination - so if the GNU webmasters are to
play an official role in this, then their decisions should be verifiable - yes?
- if not, then there is hardly any reason for their involvement
