Provenpackagers are members of the 'provenpackager' group. In addition to the rights granted to members of 'packager', provenpackagers are able to commit changes to packages they do not own or maintain. To exclude a package from provenpackagers access you have open a ticket at [[https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/newtplticket FESCo issue tracker]] and explain why provenpackagers should not have access to it. FESCo will discuss and vote on one of the weekly meetings about your request.

Provenpackager is a group of skilled package maintainers who are experienced in a wide variety of package types and who are familiar with the [[Packaging:Guidelines|packaging guidelines]] and [[Package_maintainer_policy|package maintainer policies]] as well as
acutely aware of [[Releases/Schedule|release schedule]] and [[ReleaseEngineering#Freeze_Policies|freeze policies]]. They lend a hand when help is needed, always with a desire to improve the quality of Fedora. They should be careful not to change other people packages needlessly and try to do the minimal changes in packages to fix problems, as explained more in depth in [[Who_is_allowed_to_modify_which_packages|the policy explaining when one is allowed to modify a package]].
