Created attachment 871380 [details] OpenPGP Public Key I would like to get access to GURU overlay. I am the author of the PWAsForFirefox project and would like to maintain its GURU package (www-plugins/firefoxpwa). I want to automatically submit changes to GURU (to dev branch) when a new release is created using GitHub Actions, so users will get new versions quicker and won't have to wait until third-party contributors manually update the package. I would also like to know if such automatic updates are allowed. I agree to the regulations. My GPG key is in the attachment.

I don't think it's appropriate to do automated commits to GURU, or to give access to Gentoo systems to third-party services such as GHA runners.
Yeah, this makes sense. Is there any other way to submit automated updates to GURU? Main Gentoo repo supports submitting updates through GitHub PRs, which shouldn't cause issues from a security perspective, so is it possible to also do this for GURU? Or, could www-plugins/firefoxpwa be moved into the main repo and then have updates submitted via my automated PRs? What are the criteria for including a package in the main repo, and how approximately long would it then take after the PR is submitted before the update is available to users?

I don't see a problem with submitting PRs, as long as a human reviews them before merging. > Or, could www-plugins/firefoxpwa be moved into the main repo and then have > updates submitted via my automated PRs?

The criteria is that it's in good shape and someone is willing to maintain it. It also needs someone to review and proxy the commits. The proxy-maint project could serve the latter need but we're a bit overburdened, so it could take a while for things to get merged.

For GURU, PR can be submitted to github.com/gentoo/guru, right? Also, in case I need to manually push changes to dev at some point, please still add me to GURU, but with the following SSH key: ssh-rsa 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 filips > The criteria is that it's in good shape and someone is willing to maintain > it.

In this case, I will probably be submitting PRs to GURU, and package can be moved to the main repository if that becomes feasable in the future.
Welcome!
