Hi all, I just want to update you with a few words about the Gateway to NEW project. (https://salsa.debian.org/newgateway-team)
Our goal is to have an infrastructure and tools to host pre-upload peer-review of the debian/copyright file of source packages before they are sent to the NEW queue, in the hope of making them perfect and reduce the rejection rate, thus accelerating the processing. At the moment there are rudimentary Salsa CI pipelines that aim at providing a web-browsable view of the package contents that are relevant for copyright checks (https://salsa.debian.org/newgateway-team), and another repository hosting a checklist and hosting the reviews in its issue tracker (https://salsa.debian.org/newgateway-team/reviews/-/blob/main/.gitlab/issue_templates/Default.md). We explored two possible workflows, one where one issue contains all the review, and one with one issue per review. The first one, simpler, is gaining traction, but we are only three, so, the door is surely not closed for other ways of operating in the future. I would be delighted if more people would join, as much on the review side as on the pipeline development side. There is a lot to do, but we can change Debian together! Have a nice week-end!
