If you prohibit people from doing that, they'll just commit it normally, and then remove themselves a week later. I propose that we should be more aggressive about package.masking (for removal) all maintainer-needed packages from the tree by doing that one month after they become maintainer-needed. If someone doesn't volunteer to take care of it, it probably wasn't important anyway. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
