The package adoption campaign is still active and there's still a lot of
unmaintained packages (3517 right now).
5115 packages are maintained, including:
- 2539 perl packages
- 2576 other packages
The next objective is still to have more non-perl maintained packages than
unmaintained packages, which is more or less equivalent to reducing the number
of unmaintained packages under 3000.
Here are 2 tools to help in this task:
First tool : a list of important packages that are unmaintained. This list is
not exhaustive, it's just a choice of packages. I'll try to give such a list
regularly. The list is at the end of this mail.
Second tool : the list of committers, with the number of commits (based on the
cauldron branch), for each unmaintained package. The list is updated manually,
I'll try to update it regularly but if someone volunteers to produce it
automatically, it would be appreciated. Alien has a script to get the number
of commits per package and per committer, you can ask him. Then you must filter
it to keep only unmaintained packages.
The list is there:

Of course, there's no obligation to become maintainer of a package when you
committed changes to it in the past, and there's nothing preventing someone
with 0 or few commits to a package to maintain it if those who have more
commits don't want to.
Now a list of unmaintained packages of interest, with their committers. Let's
try to shrink this list !
amarok: mikala 14, fwang 12, ahmad 4, dmorgan 2
autoconf: blino 1
autoconf2.1: blino 2
bash-completion: ahmad 6, blino 2
cmake: ahmad 14, dmorgan 7, tv 2, mikala 2, fwang 2, kharec 1
firefox: tv 36, dmorgan 34, fwang 17, ahmad 10, erwan 5, rda 2, ennael 2, ...
mozilla-thunderbird: fwang 40, ahmad 22, dmorgan 11, doktor5000 2, ...
task-e17: ennael 4
Those are on my list, Anssi still needs to grab them on my behalf.
Maybe not found the time to to it yet ;)
