If you build the package you take it over. AFAIK there is some
kind of automatism on the release-side that changes the owner
e. g. on http://www.opencsw.org/packages/clusterssh on package
release.
Since when this policy is in effect? Was it announced somewhere?
AFAIK it was already the case when I joined two years ago.
I just felt I would spend
more time on Mantis than it took me to just up the package version
and
build it. Of course, I can stop doing that and use Mantis instead.
It is more formal, but also more polite :-) If the maintainer
didn't fix it in a reasonable timeframe you can still take it
over.
For security fixes I could understand that but for minor ones?
We did talk about package tiers at the meeting:
<http://wiki.opencsw.org/suggestions>
When peer-maintenance on tiered-package-groups comes in effect the
current process must be changed. But currently only the maintainer
should release updated versions or a takeover will take place
(which doesn't need to be bad btw.)
Best regards
