✅ Formalities

• I have reviewed the CONTRIBUTING.md file for detailed contributing guidelines.

If your PR contains a patch:

• It can be applied using git am
• It has been refreshed to avoid offsets, fuzzes, etc., using

  make package/<your-package>/refresh V=s

• It is structured in a way that it is potentially upstreamable
  _{(e.g., subject line, commit description, etc.)
  We must try to upstream patches to reduce maintenance burden.}

Still it needs to be tested on real device.

I was thinking of having a hypothetical dependabot plugin that could renovate the packages automatically, but haven't looked into the possibility of doing that. There's this tool from @sdwalker that figures out all the versions already, unfortunately I haven't seen any sources. So something like this, plus calculating hashes and opening a PR. Having Copilot do that is a bit of an overkill.

I have thought about this a little in the past, because I have my own script for netbird that does some of it: it makes the commit for me, pushes a new branch, and builds the image. I want that script to run the tests and open the PR for me too, those 2 steps are manual today. The test step is the bigger problem for me, I don't just check whether the package runs, I read the logs, look at recent PRs/commits, documentation, changelogs, and upstream issues, etc. After all that I decide whether to open the PR (I don't know if it's the "right way" and I don't want everyone to follow the same workflow, every maintainer has their own).

That said, I'm afraid we might just update two lines and merge without "proper testing" (whatever that means). I also don't want anyone touching netbird without my ACK within a reasonable time for me to review (I think something like 1-2 weeks, but that's just a number I pulled from my head, it could be 1 day or less for critical bugs or security fixes, in which case I don't need to review).

To be honest, though, I think any package without a maintainer to ACK it needs to go to oblivion, but that's a discussion for another day.

So it's good to have some discussion, before or after the implementation, to figure out the right direction and update the rules accordingly.
