Hi, FESCo voted yesterday to "send info to all co-maintainers and fedora-devel, [...] after a week reassign to one co-maintainer, if no co-maintainers, retire". The text in Till's mail was not adjusted to reflect this. Nevertheless, the plan is to do what was voted. The reason why we don't just reassign all packages to co-maintainers right now is that often it's not clear which if any of the other maintainers are active. So in this first round we ask people to take ownership explicitly, and will do the automatic procedure for the rest. > And is the solution here that one of the existing co-maintainers should > just go into the Pagure settings and click... some button to become the > "main admin" so that it's no longer orphaned? Unfortunately there is no "button" in pagure, and the process to take a package is a manual releng ticket. Yeah, it's all quite a bit more manual and messy than it should be.
