Debian Janitor and us



I suppose some have seen the recent blog post on the Debian Janitor
or maybe also some of the merge requests we received:

https://www.jelmer.uk/debian-janitor.html
https://janitor.debian.net/lintian-fixes/

I short, Debian Janitor is a service which runs lintian-brush against
packages maintained in git and proposed its fixes as merge requests
(or pushes directly).

As I understand it, Debian Janitor is being rolled out now, and we
have some options:

- Just let it happen;
- refuse to be included;
- actively invite it.

Personally I've been running lintian-brush locally since it exists,
and I'm usually very happy with the results. I've also merged all MRs
we've gotten so far as they usually also look good.

Therefor I'm proposing to invite the bot for our group's packages.


The other question is if we want merge request or if we want to give
the bot commit access:
https://janitor.debian.net/lintian-fixes/#this-is-great-how-do-i-get-it-to-automatically-push-improvements-to-my-repository

I have to admit that I find the dance of merging merge requests
boring and I'll rather have the changes committed directly.
That would save quite some work; of course the changes need a review
before the next upload but that's not different from the occasional
fixup we need to do with our own automatic tools.

Therefor I'm proposing to give @janitor-bot-guest commit access to
our repos.


What do others think?


Cheers,
gregor
