Take over package I approved
Hi all, On the 12th of May I approved the package R-caTools [1]. Since, and despite 2 ping on the bugzilla, there has been no sign of life from the original submitter. The question is then, can I do the cvs request for this package and take over its maintenance in place of the original submitter ? Or does it have to go through the whole review process again ? Thanks, Pierre [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585817 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Paul. I did the same thing Paul did with stress. I hadn't approved. I'd say, have someone else double-check everything and put their stamp on it in the BZ and take it over. -J -- - in your fear, speak only peace in your fear, seek only love -d. bowie -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

I don't see why he can't now pick it up given that the somebody else who submitted it vanished. IMHO it would be perfectly valid for him to just issue the CVS request.

Re: Take over package I approved
I agree with Kevin on this one. Since Josef Radinger (fas: Cheese) is already a sponsored maintainer and the package legibly and properly accepted into packages collection, it should fall under the non responsive maintainer policy. We're already short on reviewers not to waste time over petty issues. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/cheese H. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
