That is probably a limitation of the system in that we don't know if any person will ever become a packager or become one again. So even if the account is set inactive, it will show up in that userID part. The GUI would be useful if it said something like "Account Inactive". The history is kept so that if someone needs to know if package X was touched by say UID99 because it was found out that they were silently dropping exploits in.. and then left we (and everyone else) can audit it for that.

Besides the fact, there wasn't an F25 mass rebuild, which alone implies "2 failed mass rebuilds == 2+ years", this rule never really worked, IMO, because packages often FTBFS for trivial reasons (e.g. missing BRs) which were fixed as "easy fixes" by provenpackagers, resulting into the package surviving longer. Just consider the openssl-1.1.0 case: Most packages which currently FTBS due to openssl-1.1.0 compatibility issues (Wild guess: 20+ packages), probably can be rebuilt by switching their specs to using compat-openssl-devel.

I am asking, because during the recent mass rebuilt, a larger number packages have been rebuilt, whose maintainers are known to have left Fedora or apparently do not seem/do not seem to be able to care about their packages. We have nothing in place other than to start the non-active maintainer process for all of them. Unfortunately, this doesn't cover the case of "IMHO package X should be removed, because I believe it's obsolete/dead/outdated/insecure whatever, but I am not in position and/or not knowledgeable on details to decide". A real world example, I just encountered this situation, is this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1424024 - Maintainer apparently is inactive in Fedora since 2015-06-22 (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/userinfo?userID=819) - No maintainer activity on package since 2013 (fc20). All builds since fc20 were performed by releng/provenpackagers. - Package F26FTBFSes (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=11868) Trigger for the F26FTBFS is -Werror, but the real issue underneath is openssl-1.1.0 incompatibility. As a short term "work-around/easy-fix", it is possible to resort to building against compat-openssl10, but in longer terms, a port to openssl-1.1.0 would be required.

Ralf Can you give us a list of these? I didn't keep records of those names, I tumbled across and I am not sure whether it's fair to "denunciate" these people in public. However I can send you the (very short) list of those "suspects" I recall off-head on PM. It will be easier to track down what is going on. Theoretically, FESCO's track should have tickets about these. Also, in the past, IIRC, koji (or was it bodhi?) did record a person's last build activites, which would provide a strong indication about a person's activities. Unfortunately I can't find this anymore. Furthermore, very strong hints on such packagers provides this page: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/mass-rebuild/f26-need-rebuild.html when combining it with koji and finding packages which have not been built by its maintainers/owners for years. Personally I would like to have a "sign of life" renewal to Fedora accounts to try and track this down but people have said that is too much bureaucracy. Agreed, I think this is inevitable.
