Developers: Always needed. Documentation: e.g. https://wiki.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Tasks/ApplicationHelp Maintainers: Not that I am aware of. The latter is a problem. What does Savanah exactly do? I'm only aware of Debian pinging maintainers automatically + regularly to confirm they are still around and not "missing in action" / "away without official leave". I wonder what other FOSS projects do. Thanks to Fred we do have https://people.gnome.org/~fpeters/health/ which lists a "code activity score" (bus factor?) for each module - the lower the number, the better. But I assume those numbers don't automatically update and might be a bit dusty now. The question is who and how to turn that into something 'actionable'. As far as I know nobody is 'proactively' reaching out (where?) to maintainers on the leave (=making them realize) and finding potential folks to take over. andre (using words like 'proactive' and 'actionable' that he hates) -- Andre Klapper | ak...@gmx.net http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
