As such, we'll let them decide on how best to handle this.

DMB expiry to reinstate / extend
Hi, I (cyphermox) along with Jeremy Bicha (jbicha) seem to have expired from the DMB team. There have not been elections yet to determine new DMB members. Please reinstate us / extend this membership for a few months while we can set up elections for the Development Membership Board. I have already added this to the agenda wiki page. Regards, Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre Freenode: cyphermox, Jabber: mathieu...@gmail.com 4096R/65B58DA1 818A D123 0992 275B 23C2 CF89 C67B B4D6 65B5 8DA1 -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board

Then, we also do have some amounts of data to try to guess if a particular developer is "active"... It's possible, it just becomes computationally expensive (at least if you check -changes mailing list against developers in the right development teams, etc.), for not a ton more "certainty" on whether someone is active. > Is this something you'd want to modify the DMB scripts to try to tackle, at > least the parts that can be automated? (Probably not the bit where we have > to confirm that uploaders are currently active and interested in continuing > to be responsible for the flavor) Sorry for the late response. I suggested it because I'm happy to write a new script / modify the existing to get this data. I'll see to get this working soon, so we have some data to work with before the disco release.

I don't think it would be much work to adapt it to check memberships for packagesets. The packageset reports [1] already include all the information, too.

Furthermore, I did nominate myself for the board, and my name does not show up. :) Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre Freenode: cyphermox, Jabber: mathieu...@gmail.com 4096R/65B58DA1 818A D123 0992 275B 23C2 CF89 C67B B4D6 65B5 8DA1 -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
