Alright, so seemant, tove, jakub and I talked about it some more on irc and it seems we've reached a consensus. This doesn't solve all problems, but it's a first step. We can talk about the next step(s) later.
Two new aliases will be made that bugs can be assigned to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Used for packages that are already in the tree and that are in
desperate need of a maintainer.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Used for newly submitted ebuilds that can be added to the tree if
there is someone willing to step up and maintain it.
The former address will be owned by the QA people, which means that if
bugs are assigned to maintainer-needed, it does not concern bug-wranglers.
The QA team will handle issues related to maintainer-needed.
Now we will have both an easy way to query for these two categories of
bug reports as well as a way to subscribe to any messages that concern
them.
Regards,
Maurice.
P.S.: There will probably be another message to notify everyone when
this has been set up.
