I have a script ready to set the last comittor (that's a full
packager) as
maintainer. perhaps it can be activated before the GREAT PURGE.
That's not so good idea. What we maybe can do is that we send out a
warning that if you commit to a package after the warning and the
package has no maintainer yet then you become one. So that people would
first check what they get on their name. Many packages were imported by
Anne, i'm not sure that she's going to maintain them all. :)
I would do something like that:
2 months of warning period, if you touch package that has no maintainer
you become its maintainer. After 2 months we start dropping those
packages that have still no maintainer.
This whole idea of 'touch a package, become its maintainer' assumes than
anyone modifying a package has an obvious interest in it. However, they
are case when you have rebuild a package just in order to accomodate for
changes you made somewhere else. For instance, rebuilding all packages
linked against a given library after updating this last one to a new
version...
