[ovirt-devel] Jenkins jobs ownership

[Martin Sivak]

I am using copr for building mom for a single reason. We have no
distgit equivalent where I would be able to mark an arbitrary git hash
as a release (using my tag and branch structure) and so copr gives me
the package release experience I want. Otherwise Jenkins would be fine
with me.

If we are getting closer to something like that then great and I will
use it when it is ready.
