There are pages in the wiki that already describe what we are doing right now.
Really? Where do I look to see what has been tried with packages that are currently failing QA or not building yet? Or even what are the current time-consuming problems that haven't been solved yet?
The process is not the product.
Exactly, and I don't see anyone complaining about the product - just wondering if some number of months could be shaved off the process.
The bug.centos.org site is open to anyone who might want to get involved and help fix bugs. I'm guessing you are just new to CentOS and dont really know what you are talking about. Try thinking things though for a change.
Wouldn't thinking things through have to result in distributing the time consuming work instead of making it wait for any single owner?
Exactly, which is where the idea of 'ownership' comes through.
So far it isn't clear where the months of process can accumulate. If it is mostly in iterative work on a few packages, how does changing their ownership do anything to speed things up - unless the concept of ownership gives the right to open and distribute the work that is causing the bottleneck in the process?
