Re: Do we need to hide packages in NEW queue



Hi all,

resurecting a discussion from 2022 where Russ wrote about "Do we need to hide
packages in NEW queue?":

It just came to my mind that now once tag2upload can upload to NEW, we can have
very strong evidence that source package X in NEW is exactly the same as the
one generated by tag Y on Salsa or elsewhere.

So for an increasing number of source packages, it will be possible for anyone
to audit a copy of the package in NEW.

There is a path where we can migrate from "we may be legally obliged to hide
packages in NEW" to "please justify why you are opting out releasing a copy of
what you uploaded to NEW".

Have a nice day,

Charles
