Even though I'm not as active as I used to, I still contribute from
time to time.
As for my admin rights, perhaps I'm not in the position anymore to
judge whether somebody should be added to the project. So, as long as
the bus factor is not an issue, I don't think I need admin rights
anymore.

Consider me retired.


The following were listed as retired or MIA and is therefore removed:

* edward


Didn't Edward Betts un-retire recently?

[lintian] Membership audit and clean up - please follow up if you are still active

[Niels Thykier]

Hi,

I have gone through the member list on and removed members that were
inactive according to Debian's MIA database.

Kindly review and act on the following:

 * If you consider yourself retired from lintian, please let me know and
   I will clean up your access.
 * If you have admin access or lintian-gid, please assert you are still
   around and know how to use it if needed be.

=> If you have "admin" or "lintian-gid" and I do not hear from you
=> before 2017-09-01, I will assume you are not around to use it.

Re: admin/lintian-gid: I am interested in having redundancy here so we
are at least a few members that can do the tasks related to these
privileges.
  However, this only works if the people with said access are 1) still
around to use it and 2) still knows how/when to use it.  Accordingly,
this mail doubles as a check to see if we have a hidden bus-factor of 1
on these things.


Audit results so far

These are the results for checking all the members in alioth against the
MIA database.


The following were listed as retired or MIA and is therefore removed:

 * jeroen (lintian-gid)
 * he (lintian-gid)
 * edward
 * jorda-guest

This leaves the following (presumed) active members for now:

 * joy (lintian-gid)
 * djpig (lintian-gid)
 * broucaries-guest
 * abe
 * sylvestre
 * jwilk
 * pabs
 * lamby
 * cjwatson (admin, lintian-gid)
 * rra (admin, lintian-gid)
 * adsb (admin, lintian-gid)
 * geissert (admin)
 * nthykier (admin, lintian-gid)

Legend:
 * "admin" has administrator access to the lintian project in alioth
 * "lintian-gid" has the lintian group on lindsay.d.o, which gives write
   access/admin over the archive-wide reporting.


From here
=
As we have retired members with lintian-gid, I will send a request to
DSA to remove the gid from these members.  Once people has had time to
respond to this and we have evaluated if the bus factor is adequate, I
will open an RT ticket to get the lintian-gid updated.


Thanks,
~Niels

I haven't touched lintian.d.o in many years now, so please feel free to drop me 
from the list.

If you do find that you have high bus factor on that afterwards, likewise, 
don't hesitate to let me know.
