Can requesting removal from archive be automated, to occur say after 3
weeks of inactivity of rc/grave/serious bug?
As a DD, I assume there is some pride and/ or utility in having your
package in the archive. This would give you a little no nonsense
wakeup call I would guess. And if *even the packager themselves* do not
have enough pride/ utility value in worrying at that point, then it is
likely better to get removed.
Agreed. But beware, because we could end up with having a lot of
blue users and maintainers. To make the thing more efficient, a
good mental approach should be developed. Maybe making a request
for removal special in some ways? I think there are two things
to consider:
-make the fact as public as possible, so both the userbase and
the other developers be notified. Publicize at least two weeks
before the deadline.
-educate users and developers about how can they motivate the
maintainer to do her job well: the RFR report should include
a text explaining why the package would be removed, what
one can do to prevent this, what is the right attitude when
one communicates with the maintainer
Excellent points, thanks.
