I am curious -- have you checked what parts of contrib downstreams package&ship? Are you planning on CC'ing the (inactive) authors/maintainers so they know that if they care they should host those elsewhere? My candid opinion is that you're trying to force a group of people to undertake a pointless exercise. Contrib in many/most projects is uneven, and folks know that. But it gives upstream a chance to push for some minimal quality, and in turn it gives visibility to a bunch of sometimes useful tools. If my code was going to get the axe, I'd be rather pissed off. If Junio is in agreement that code quality is bad, or tools should have unit tests, then the push could be to address the problem or face removal. For example: contrib maintainer, show you're responsive to bug reports on the list, or face removal; add unit tests (or explain why they aren't needed) or face removal. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first ~ http://docs.moodle.org/en/User:Martin_Langhoff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
