There are no standard guidelines for processing maintainer requests. Personally, I usually accept all entries if they look decent; ie. not garbage characters, non-English language or they expect to get a free copy of the program by becoming a maintainer (and quite a few people seem to expect that!). We are quite short of maintainers; the test result queue contians some 500 entries, for instance. I guess we could list some additional info about the applicant, and reject his application if he has not submitted any data and the app contains up-to-date info. > I'm also curious, I think that there should be code of conduct or similar, > some app entries don't have objective descriptions and give out of date > information > > perhaps this appdb bug I filed might be relevant too: > > http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11144
