[Bug 39902] New: No form for adding new developers or submitting correction requests
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39902 Bug ID: 39902 Summary: No form for adding new developers or submitting correction requests Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: jhansonxi(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Other than submitting bugs and emails to appdb(a)winehq.org (does anyone read these?) there isn't a clean way to add a new developer (without adding a new app) or correct an existing developer entry. I added GETMACS.EXE (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=17241) for the sole purpose of adding WestDev Ltd. to the AppDB so I could set the correct developer for PCB Artist (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=6646). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I don't see a reason to do so. My recommondation is to set this bug to 'wontfix'. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39902 --- Comment #2 from Jeff D. Hanson <jhansonxi(a)gmail.com> --- @Joerg Schiermeier As per my original comment, if the wrong developer is set for an app, and the correct developer doesn't exist in the AppDB, then there is no way to add them without adding a new app to associate them with first. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

(The latter is the quickest way to get my attention.) Non-admin users are not and should not be allowed to add developers without a valid test report. The reason is spam: we periodically get people trying to submit bogus entries. By requiring a valid test report, these are easily spotted and rejected. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39902 --- Comment #5 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio(a)earthlink.net> --- There's nothing to correct. Jeff submitted the new developer by submitting a new application from that developer. Once it was on the list, as maintainer he was able to select it. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
