I don't think this would scale very well. We would need to run some kind of massive imap server and over time packages like the kernel or ones that get large patches would grow massively. Why not let each person manage emails in whatever way they wish as now? ...snip... > >> Atleast you would not have to run around half the internet chasing > >> the maintainer just to try to see if he's active or not and if you > >> can fix or generally start working on the component he's allegedly > >> supposed to be maintaining > > Why not? > > Why not what? > > Do you get paid for or do you have endless time to spend hunting > people down? To be more verbose, why does having a fedora imap server help you with this problem? If you don't see any posts from a maintainer that still doesn't mean that they aren't doing other things related to the package and are still very much alive. I don't see your proposal as helping this in any way. > My plea what plea I asked Fesco to give this a serious thought about > this and they did not. Well, I can't speak for anyone but myself, but you will need to put forth some kind of compelling argument. So far I have not been convinced. ...snip... IMHO, it's not on FESCo to convince you that we shouldn't change. It's on you to present a compelling argument as to why we should change a process that many think is working fine. kevin
