[Koha-devel] Packing needs - status to add to bugzilla and the dashboard?

[Brendan Gallagher]

Yup all good points.  Not to put it all on the PM - but I think a way to
track this in BZ is needed.  A better workflow - perhaps based on Chris's
point - a "failed QA - needs package" status (or some worded status)?

Do we have a defined role description of responsibility of the Packaging
Manager?  (I've only read Robin's posts to the mailing list before - is
that it?)
