Hello,
In a recent message, Raymond dramatically pretends that I would have "edited out" Davin of the maintainers list for the multiprocessing module. What I did (*) is different: I asked to mark Davin inactive and to stop auto-assigning him on bug tracker issues. Davin was /still/ listed in the experts list, along with me and others. IOW, there was no "editing out". (*) https://github.com/python/devguide/pull/435 The reason I did this is simple: Davin does not do, and has almost never done, any actual maintenance work on multiprocessing (if you are not convinced, just go through the git history, and the PRs that were merged in the ~4 last years). He usually does not respond to tracker issues opened by users. He does not review PRs. The only sizable piece of work he committed is, as I mentioned in the previous thread, still untested and undocumented. Auto-assigning someone who never (AFAICT) responds to issues ultimately does a disservice to users, whose complaints go unanswered; while other people, who /do/ respond to users, are not aware of those stale issues. Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
