[RFC] User control of package requests
With the advent of aurweb v6.0.0, users can now view and close requests that they themselves have filed. While this is meant to help TUs out by giving users the power to correct their mistakes, this has shown to be problematic in terms of Orphan requests.
This issue is being brought up as an overview of #275, #276 and #277. We invite you to give your feedback, ideas or opinions on the three RFCs regarding a particular request type's handling by a User account.
Existing behavior:
- Users are able to view the Requests page, which lists out any requests that User has made
- Users are able to close their own Orphan requests
- Users are able to close their own Deletion requests
- Users are able to close their own Merge requests
Problems:
- Foxboron: It has been observed that users have closed their orphan requests after waiting over a week, which tricks up TUs and catches them off-guard
