They should eventually receive the "Orphaned packages looking for
new maintainers" email where they are bcced.
However, gmail has a tendency to merge that email with the list
email and that usually makes such email avoid the inbox :(
It looks there is also no communication to all admins about the orphaning
event. E.g. when someone presses 'orphan' button on
src.fedoraproject.org, this is not really communicated elsewhere.
The person who does that is supposed to announce that. But there
is indeed no automatic notification.
However, I don't see that as a real issue here: If the main admin
is from your team, and they are leaving the team or orphaning the
packages for other reasons, I guess you would know about that
happening, right?
Nope, this is not what happened. FreeIPA is only affected indirectly
but we have to hunt for those fellow maintainers and ask them to
actually notice what happened.
In at least few cases what happened is that main admin was a Fedora
volunteer from community who finally threw their (non-Red Hat) hat and
orphaned the package while there is a number of other maintainers being
on the package roster. This is more than one case and seems to be
neglected.
I know what happened e.g. with mod_wsgi.
But here the ask was to assign a real maintainer to the freeipa
package. Presumably sch real person would be from your team.
Sure. I cannot do that myself other than orphaning the package and
taking it again.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/freeipa/settings#usersgroups-tab does
not allow any admin to rise privileges.
Do you know a better way of doing it?
