[Blueprint community-q-myapps-review] Review of the ARB process using MyApps

[Daniel Holbach]

Blueprint changed by Daniel Holbach:

Whiteboard changed:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/developer-portal/+bugs?field.tag=arb will be
- a good starting point for the discussion.
+  * On a separate topic, the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-app-review-contributors team has been mapped to the teams that can review apps on myapps:
+   * Do they need the same level of permissions as ARB members? It's fine to have the same permissions, the actual publishing can only be done by ARB members anyway
+ 
+  * PPA upload user interface:
+   * Anthony: it'd be nice to have a generic interface that would enable to specify diferent sources of submission apart from PPAs (e.g. github, PPA). Having a URL vs. a "PPA dropdown" would have the benefit of being able to specify a PPA even if the submitter is not its owner
+   * ARB: either would be fine
+ 
+  * Particular bugs to discuss:
+   * Feature request: log all actions in feedback (https://bugs.launchpad.net/developer-portal/+bug/992251)
+ 
+  * problems:
+   * hard to find out which apps need attention
+   * make it easier to see if last comment is from ARB / arb-helper member or not
+  * ubuntu-app-review-contributors don't seem to need different ACLs in MyApps right now (publishing is done separately)
+ 
+  * priority list:
+   * 987996 Automatically change application to review pending when a dev adds a comment
+   * 927553 ARB team is never notified about app developer's comments on the 'Feedback' page
+ 
+  * Solutions:
+   * with fixes last cycle, no longer need special metadata in debian/rules and debian/control
+  
+ Work items:
+ [ajmitch] File bug about package description in Software Centre not having line breaks
+ [allison] update documentation, no longer require meta-data
+ [dholbach] update description of bug 920428
+ [elachuni] update https://bugs.launchpad.net/developer-portal/+bugs?field.tag=arb with information and bug importances
