Rumors of my retirement are greatly exagerated (well, not that much). I did
retire, but I took it back, and now I'm just as active was I was previously!
Due to the mostly automated nature of releng these days, there's not much need
for this mailing list or the IRC channel to be "chatty".

All,
I have noticed that this list and the gentoo-releng irc channel
have been dead for a very long time, and I remember seeing a post a
while back in which agaffney announced his retirement. Also there are
multiple bugs open on livecd-tools, and there has been no attempt to fix
them.
I offered to join the team a while back, but was told there was no time
to train me.
So, I am concerned about the releng project. What is it's status? Do
we have anyone who is in the project any longer?
What about the maintenance of their tools? I see from the live ebuilds
that they are maintained on git repositories that are not part of
gentoo's infrastructure, and, in the case of livecd-tools, there have
been no changes since December of last year.
Can someone respond to gentoo-releng and let us know the status of the
project?
Thanks much,
William
