Andreas Bierfert (awjb), who was recently declared non-responsive. So: the assignee of the bug is not around to determine whether it can be fixed. I could have also needinfo(Michael) (and in hindsight I probably should have), but based on their reaction, I don't think they would have been any happier with that. My view is that there's an open security bug, so it's reasonable to want to know whether it's going to be fixed. The assignee clearly isn't going to answer it. Someone responsible for another branch of the package should be able to check trivially - and is indeed the best person to ask, since they're the most locally knowledgeable. In communication with Michael, I did explain that if no one was responsible for these branches, they should retire the branches. Michael's view in that discussion seemed to be that the problem was one I had created, and therefore one I should fix. (Michael can retire the branches while I, an unrelated contributor without ProvenPackager, cannot.) Thanks, --Robbie
