Investigation
Here is the list of ideas/things we discussed/looked at:
Conclusions
There was a number of separate improvements to Bodhi proposed for this investigation some of which are needed and can be carried out as part of general Infra & Releng work under mini-initiatives.
The investigation also concluded that Bodhi does not need to take over any functionality from PDC. As dist-git is the source of truth for packages all the information relating to packages from PDC should instead be moved there.
Proposed Roadmap
Mini-initiative to separate Bodhi into multiple sub packages https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/10368
Ticket to fix integration and unit tests in CI
Ticket to fix dependency management in Bodhi
Ticket to automat part of the release process
Propose dist-git changes
