Hmm. Steven, what part of "rebuilding, not developing" fact are you 
having problems with?

How would that happen in your mind? Please give us detail instruction.

Guys prepare all srpms and ask you/us/anybody to help them. Then 
you/us/anybody start fiddling with it and create huge chatter about what 
works and what not. Keep in mind that you are NOT allowed to change 
srpms, just building environment!!!.

What happens when you take responsibility for certain package and then 
have no time for it? Will all other rebuilders be forced to wait for 
you? Will rebuilding queues be halted until we all agree is something is 
correctly done, or until we argue if one of us thinks that other one is 
not competent? Who will take precedence? Will core dev team become referees?

Or if you think we should all have simultaneous access to the same 
packages, who will volunteer to build simultaneous access system? And 
how you intend to solve conflicts?

And this issues are just from the top of my head while I have other 
problems on my mind.

Please answer this in detail, not just shrug it off and say "I do not 
know" or "That is not the point".
