Greetings!A few packages that I've been maintaining for several months have been adopted into extra.
python-urllib3-future: created and maintained since a year ago python-niquests: created and maintained since a year ago python-wassima: created and maintained since a year ago python-qh3: maintained since 6 months agoI'm glad they were deemed necessary and/or popular enough to go into official repositories. Thank you Felix Yan for taking over these!
--- What feels bad is the fact that:- I was not formally notified that these packages have been adopted into extra - I was not thanked, or even acknowledged, for maintaining them for however long that I did - I had to find out via a comment on and then an AUR package deletion of python-urllib3-future by an unrelated AUR user (Thanks hcartiaux) - I also had to go and find dependencies (the other 3 packages) by myself to remove them from my workspace and file deletion requests for them on the AUR
- I don't even get a measly Contributor credit in the official packages - This is not the first time it has happenedI'm not pointing fingers at any particular person in doing the work and (not) making these decisions, but I do think this is a systemic failure on Arch's part. Most of us are volunteers and we do what we do because we love Arch and FOSS. We know it's often a thankless job, and that users tend to take us for granted and even make demands of us, and yet we keep at it.
I believe keeping each other informed and credited is the least we can do to support ourselves as a community, recognize each others' contributions, and keep morale high.
Can we please remedy this with _some_ guidelines for Packagers who adopt packages from the AUR?
