Too often there are "non responsive maintainer" messages here. Sometimes this is because a maintainer has lost their interest in Fedora and left their responsibilities without communication, which means their packages can be left unmaintained for long time in repositories before someone notice that.
At other times the maintainer is still active, but for some reason they are unreachable to users (email change, etc.). I would propose some sort of automatic check of maintainer responsivity. Maybe a tool that checks a packager activity in the last 6 months and if there is no activity then sends an email asking the maintainer to confirm they're still involved in Fedora. In case there's no reply, either automatically orphan their packages or notify someone (devel-list) to try to reach them. What do you think? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
