Hi all, This mail is just a heads up on go-sig delicate current status.
After a "non-responsive" process for one of the go-sig members[1], a lot of go-sig packages become orphans. This maintainer has been working for years creating hundreds of packages and updating them. The orphaning process caused that ~2100/~2300 go-sig packages to be affected directly or indirectly. The current number is 1633/2373 packages affected. The list of currently affected packages can easily be checked using package-dashboard[2] and clicking on the 'orphan' (little person) button at the top right. IIUC in little more than 4 weeks all those orphaned packages will be retired and that can cause massive impact. Indirectly affected packages include docker (moby-engine), containerd, rclone, restic or gopass to name a few. Some packages might be key for some people, some might just disappear without causing major noise. I adopted ~100 packages needed by packages I maintain and I'm in the process to update them. More hands will be needed to take the rest and/or review new deps required by the updates. And that's it. As this may create some bad press if some of those packages vanish, I just wanted to alert devel-list.
