Given that I'm migrating bunch of legacy init script to native systemd ones and I have come many packages that seem that maintainer(s) have deserted them but for some bizarre reason we still continue to package and keep rolling them between release and now I came across bug 738442 which seriously begs the question that the whole cleanup process needs to be revisited.
Instead of everybody that are doing needed work in the distribution having to run around after maintainers trying to find out if they are still active or not and initiate the unresponsive maintainer policy, cant we revert the process and have maintainer(s) having to reassure their ownership on their package(s) at the begin of each development cycle and if they dont do that before x time, the package(s) they maintain will be automatically orphaned and given up for someone else to grab and take ownership before x time runs out and if nobody does they get remove from the distribution? I cant image how much resources across the project have been spent on packages that no longer are being actively maintained but have not been removed from the distribution.
