Are those no longer considered part of GNOME?
They use GNOME infrastructure (Bugzilla, git, etc), they release tarballs but not part of what release team releases/coordinates. As such also not in any release notes nor email from release team. See for instance the announcement of GNOME 3.13.2: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2014-May/msg00034.html the tarballs it links to are: https://download.gnome.org/core/3.13/3.13.2/sources/ https://download.gnome.org/apps/3.13/3.13.2/sources/ There is no gnome-panel tarball in those directories. The wiki indicates interested people for this includes MATE developers, etc. I'd see it as separate things: - GNOME "team" (fairly big with l10n, etc) - MATE (l10n will usually handle anything on git.gnome.org) - GNOME flashback team (same here) I know metacity is maintained as the new maintainer asked for Bugzilla privileges I'm not sure of the difference between flashback and MATE. MATE took over a few git modules, flashback as well. To be clear: I think it is great that various groups of developers took over modules and are going in their own way/direction. Regarding release notes: I expect that to be written by those teams. MATE doing their release notes, flashback team as well. -- Regards, Olav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
