We are in need of owners for the libraries in external/. There are some responsibilities the owners would need to take over:
1. Make sure our patches (if any) get integrated into the original projects. Right now we have some 2+ year old patches that are required by Chandler sitting untouched in those projects' bug databases. This may involve tweaking the patches based on review feedback. 2. Follow the releases of those projects and inform the OSAF release team when we should upgrade. Reasons for upgrade include releases that fix security issues, or releases that fix issues we are depending on in Chandler. 3. Help OSAF release team integrate the upgrades. (Note that you don't necessarily need to do the build related work to get the stuff actually into Chandler, but any help you could provide would be appreciated.) In general, I expect the owners would need to do very little programming and spend perhaps 1 hour a week in communicating with external projects when we are actively trying to push patches in. If there are no patches, I'd expect you to monitor the projects releases, something which should take a few minutes a month at most. Here are the libs: SOAPpy dateutil epydoc jabber-py persistence/libxml2 pychecker python python/bzip2 python/zlib readline swig zope I am assuming the following have owners: PyICU - Andi PyLucene - Andi icu - Andi m2crypto - Heikki openssl - Heikki persistence/db - Andi pylint (and subdirs) - Heikki twisted - Brian K vobject - Jeffrey zanshin - Grant -- Heikki Toivonen
