+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; See who is maintainer of a package :
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; mgarepo maintdb get [package]
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; See the list of all packages with their maintainer :
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; mgarepo maintdb get
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; I used in in Mageia 1 using the package in updates_testing and it works well.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Ok, it's moved to updates now.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Wasn't it against the policy ( ie, this is neither a bugfix, this is a
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; version update, providing feature ) ?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> That is a bug fix; is there any other way a Mageia packager running
+</I>&gt;<i> mga1 can set/unset himself as a maintainer of a package in the
+</I>&gt;<i> official Mageia repos?
+</I>
+Yes :
+- using cauldron in a vm, a chroot
+- backporting by himself the package
+
+Packagers convenience do not seems a reason to bypass our policies.
+
+&gt;<i> That is not a &quot;feature&quot;, that's a &quot;basic requirement&quot; in repository
+</I>&gt;<i> access and management tool for a distro, that was missing and is now
+</I>&gt;<i> available, that warrants an official update, IMHO...
+</I>
+Everybody has a different vision of what is a basic requirement, and the
+problem with such reasoning is that we first start to say &quot;this is not a
+new feature&quot;, and then, someone say &quot;I need to have this in stable and
+like $FOO, I think that's a basic requirement, so we should
+backport/upgrade&quot;.
+
+All packagers should have a cauldron installed somewhere, or that mean
+they cannot test any packages or try to reproduce any bugs on it ( ie,
+do the job of a package maintainer ).
+
+And so if they do not have, I do not think we should encourage them to
+do so.
