Hello,

I'd like to disable the feature "Request for Inclusion" against my project (GRUB). Is this possible?

In my experience, this feature is not very useful but rather annoying. Most people who did this request to GRUB were always very ambiguous about what they wanted to do. As far as I see, they even don't understand what "Request for Inclusion" is.

Since inclusion gives them write permission to the CVS, I cannot accept their requests unless I know them very well. And, if I know them well, they normally don't have to send any request from the web interface, because we talk in a different place (such as IRC) so I know who should be included in my project.

It might be better to show a message instead of just disabling it. For example, I'd like to display this kind of message when a user tries to be included in our project:

Thank you for your interest on our project. Please subscribe to the mailing list -unavailable- for discussion. You can get other useful information from blah blah...

Okuji

I guess this can be done by setting a flag in the 'groups', so the project is displayed somewhat differently and unselectable in the RFI interface. Handling a custom text could be done by clicking on the project name in the RFI interface; it could be stored and edited just like the project description.
