Hi, There was some conversation[1] recently on the Plone Enterprise list re. etiquette (is this the right term :) to follow when proposing an update to a product in the collective. I was just wanting to send a message to the list for feedback in the case where a developer has attempted to contact the product maintainer a reasonable number of times (see forwarded messages below) but hasn't had a reply - what to do then? Do products just stagnate or can they be taken over if the original product maintainer is longer actively maintaining it? How would I/someone else get access to the product page on plone.org to update it?
The code change I propose has been tested in a production environment (and is still being used successfully on a couple of sites).
