What does the process of "handling it over completely" entail ? I really think Boost needs to define the methodology for this and also have someone with enough Administrator rights to get this done. I realize that Boost can not just hand over a library for maintenance without knowing if the particular person is capable enough both as far as C++ and the library itself is concerned. But considering how many libraries really need a maintainer, even if those libraries are very solid themselves and have very few bugs, I believe Boost really needs to jump on the situation when someone wishes to maintain a library which either has no maintainer or is "maintained" as part of CMT. We can not afford to ignore such people in a sort of laissez faire manner; we need them too much. > > Michael > > On Mon, Aug 7, 2017, 16:12 Edward Diener <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> What is the proper way to have someone taking over as the maintainer of a >> Boost library, which either has no active maintainer or is a CMT library ? >> >> -- >> The Boost Steering Committee webpage: >> https://sites.google.com/a/boost.org/steering/ >> --- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Boost Steering Committee" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to [email protected] <javascript:>. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected] >> <javascript:>. >> Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/boost-steering. >> To view this discussion on the web visit >> https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/boost-steering/55bf7765-b373-4f41-8bd8-39da12055840%40googlegroups.com >> >> <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/boost-steering/55bf7765-b373-4f41-8bd8-39da12055840%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> >> . >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >> > -- The Boost Steering Committee webpage: https://sites.google.com/a/boost.org/steering/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Boost Steering Committee" group.
