> After rehashing the arguments once or twice again, I submitted the > following proposal: if Eray fixes the four packages he's supposed to > be maintaining, and puts them into an honourable shape, I'll sponsor > at least one of them (even if I don't use any of them). Mark Brown > said he'd do the same. We then suggested Eray started work on his > packages rather than what was increasingly perceived as a watse of > everyone's time (including his) on IRC. Repeatedly. > > At some point, Robert McQueen set some channel bit I wasn't aware > of, which seemed to result in Eray not being able to talk. > > Anyway, the offer as it stands is this (fairly standard) sponsorhip > offer: Eray makes fixed packages, makes them available on a public > URL, posts this URL to debian-mentors (possibly Cc:ing me and/or Mark > Brown), and we sponsor these packages if they're good. If they're > good, and the bugs are fixed, we'll advertise that. If the packages > are very good, we'll say that publically too, and maybe advocate him > to the DAM. If they're not good, we'll also advertise that, and Eray > will be in an even more awkward position to bitch and demand than he > is now. For anyone interested: one month has passed. I've been away for holidays, but I found no email from Eray in my inbox when coming back.
