Kernel DKMS PPU rights

[Brett Grandbois]

Greetings to the DMB,

As you know, two members of the Canonical Kernel Team recently applied for kernel-dkms PPU and both were rejected. In trying to determine the next steps to get them (as well as others) on a path to better preparation, we have come to realize that we are not able to find any clear requirements for the access rights. There has also been some surprise by current staff with the existing rights about the requirements being mentioned by the DMB during the application process. Is there some documentation that you could point us to so that we are able to better prepare? Thus far I have found only this (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#PerPackage), and of course there is the existing Kernel PPU delegation (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/UploadRights), but have not been able to find anything more detailed specific to DKMS. Any guidance on how to proceed here would be greatly appreciated.
Following on, as DKMS seems to be a more refined case of the existing Kernel PPU, I’d like to start exploring an application for a Kernel DKMS PPU delegation (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers/TeamDelegation). Is this something we could do, similar to other existing delegations? What do we need to do to get there? Again, any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Brett
