If I'm wrong I'll be corrected.
They haven't answered bugs filed January 31st, how long do you think it is appropriate to wait before taking over a package? This is a big project, it's hard enough to finish as it is. It wasn't exactly our choice to do those packages since it involved more work for us. I'm sure most of the maintainers who didn't answer the bug reports are retired even though they may be listed as active. So, to sum up, we contacted everyone in an official way and we're offering everyone to keep ownership of their packages. Note that we have not "taken" ownership of anything since nothing has been released yet. It's to avoid "taking" ownership from maintainers who are active and want to keep their packages I'm trying to contact them this way too. -- /peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
