Then we know (hopefully) that he is on vacation. Thats not the point. If we had
a
maintainer database we could then set the maintainers to different state's:
[] active
[] on short vacation (1d - 4 weeks)
[] on long vacation ( 1 months - ...)
[] not active
This thread is only for the last state. The maintainer doesn't fix bugs,
doesn't
responce on mails and noone does know where he is.
