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 ;)
no offense, and i'm not complaining, but aren't you taking on a bit too much?
As long as i haven't gotten a full packager account, feel free to grab them.
In the end, it comes down to this: either a package is maintained or dropped.
I don't want these packages dropped, so this is my logical conclusion.
Remember: This doesn't mean nobody else can commit ...
