bregmahey folk, I have some bugs nominated for SRU into 14.04, but the next step seems to be converting the nomination into a bug task -- and there doesn't seem to be any documented mechanism for that other than "the Ubuntu drivers will notice and accept or reject the nomination" which doesn't happen18:16
bregmais it really a "who you know" thing now?18:17
rbasakbregma: the right place to ask is here. It's documented in step 4 of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure although I think IRC is probably quicker and easier.19:06
* rbasak edits the page19:07
bregmawell, that documents talks about nominating the bugs, which they already are19:07
rbasakPeople here can check and accept them too.19:08
rbasakOr the uploader, or SRU team member, can do it. I wouldn't consider an SRU upload to be blocked on having the nomination accepted.19:09
bregmabut the documented procedure says to mark the bug task status should be changed to In Progress, which is challenging to do without a bug task -- unless I change one of the other bug tasks, which makes no sense to me19:12
rbasakWhy don't you try asking someone to approve your nomination?19:13
rbasakThe reason it generally has never been a problem is because the rare person who has a problem just asks, and someone fixes it.19:14
bregmaalso, the documentation does not say how to notify the SRU team about the bug -- I would assume they need to be subscribed, but it just doesn't say19:14
bregmaand yes, I do "just know someone" to ask, but I don't recall Ubuntu being such an inside-cabal-only distribution19:15
rbasakThe SRU team doesn't need to be subscribed. They look in the unapproved queue (through a report), and the upload will end up there via your sponsor. You do need to subscribe the sponsorship team, details of which are in the "get a sponsor" link.19:17
rbasakYou don't need to "know someone". You can just ask here, which you still haven't done. It's as if you're trying to make the process difficult for yourself.19:18
rbasakOr you can email ubuntu-devel-discuss for help if you wish.19:19
rbasakI do agree that the documentation can be improved. You seem to best understand what's wrong with the documentation, so would you mind fixing it? It's a wiki.19:21
