Hi, It happens from time to time that some maintainer is busy with work or school, has to move, is on vacation or attends some other event which prevents him from taking action on new tickets.
So I want to setup a new wiki page (like MaintainerAway) where anybody can add himself with a small explanation how long he is going to be away and maybe also why. If someone adds himself onto this wiki page all of his/her ports will be treated like if they have openmaintainer on them, so anybody can commit updates without explicit permission. This should be taken like a temporarily openmaintainer status. Or the maintainer could also add someone else who should take care of his/her ports for this time. The main advantage would be that the 72h delay does not have to pass as the maintainer will not answer anyway. The wiki page could look like this (with a proper table, of course): [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 2008-04-01 to 2008-04-10 | On vacation, please ask foobar@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 2008-03-14 to 2008-04-01 | Exams Of course this would also need to be documented in our guide. Any comments appreciated. Do you think this would be an improvement to our infrastructure? Rainer PS: I am writing to both lists as I think this is also an interesting topic for our users. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
