Infra team staffing issues
==========================

A proposal was made to make a few developers who are providing external
services into official infra team members so the services could possibly be
officially hosted.

Council response
----------------
Developers who are interested in helping or joining the infra team should
contact them directly and if they have issues should elevate things to comrel
or the council as necessary.


Reducing/removing stable tree for some potentially lagging arches
=================================================================

Some arches always appear to hold back stabilization and keywording efforts.
In particular alpha, sparc, ia64, ppc and ppc64 were mentioned.

Council response
----------------
Dropping excess packages from minor arches was discussed (i.e.  focusing more
effort on keeping the core system set stable) but the majority of discussion
was passed back to the lists so arch teams can contribute more information and
ideas.


Flagging packages that can be stabilized for all arches at the same time
========================================================================

Easily allow arch teams to handle and stabilize non-arch packages (icons,
theming, etc) across all arches.

Example solutions given include adding a new bugzilla keyword such as
"STABLEREQALL" or using a key set in a package's metadata.xml.

Council response
----------------
The council voted to add the STABLEREQALL keyword to bugzilla which will allow
the first arch that stabilizes a package to also stabilize the remaining,
previous stable arches for the package.

Combining various keyring related USE flags into one global
===========================================================

Implementation specific USE flags (e.g. gnome-keyring, libsecret, wallet, etc)
force users to know about and enable each one. Perhaps instead use a global
"keyring" USE flag that controls keyring support.
