In re-creating the list of maintainers and integrators, we will identify

and you think you're the wrong person, speak up. In doing that, we will also
identify orphan and under-maintained modules.
All of the email you wrote is great to hear, and eagerly awaited. The
situation with package maintenance in Tizen is currently quite bad:
- packages are added or updated ad-hoc, as-needed by other packages
- there is no clear understanding of who is maintaining what and what
are their duties as a maintainer
- there is no clear version update policy, for many (most?) packages no
one tracks and updates upstream releases.
See e.g. my ongoing attempt to update Rygel to latest upstream (I'm the
de facto maintainer for now), which triggered a cascade of other
necessary updates:
