As a person who maintains packages via sponsors I have to say no. I do not like the sponsor making changes (which in my experience have been quite major) to the package before adding it to the repository, especially when it's done without asking first. If the sponsor has an issue with the package then they should communicate with the maintainer and work with them to fix the issue. > Is it OK that a sponsor adds him/herself to "Uploaders" ? Again I have to say no. It's not just the sponsor adding themselves to the "Uploaders", but making themselves co-maintainers and not adding the maintainer key to allow the maintainer to upload themselves. > My answers are currently "no" and "no", but there may be different opinions. I agree with your stance and would like to see some formal guidelines or policies related to this. -- Nikolai Lusan <nikolai@lusan.id.au>
