I think the problem is that unmaintained packages are still unmaintained; drive-by changes by provenpackagers are not actual maintenance, because that's not a scalable organization (expecting provenpackagers to do all maintenance on random packages). It's awesome that people are will to be provenpackagers and try to do that, but IMHO it's not a system that's destined to succeed. In the long term, it's probably better for unmaintained packages to be removed and to focus on actively maintained packages. Occasional provenpackager changes are fine; if that's all a package gets, that's not good. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
