He clearly has abandoned the project, so I am for the takeover.

Note that I clicked Garage's "be a maintainer" link a few months ago, as any Garage admin would be able to tell (I guess ;P). But I agree with the general idea -- the first email could get lost in some spam filter. Garage has no ability to "resend" it, so I sent him an email from my own mail address but he may be ignoring that (spambox account with aggressive filtering?). Ideally, could we send him a mail from some "official" @maemo.org address? -- Javier ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

However, I would like to make sure the current admin has a fair chance to object. After all, maybe he is on holiday? I suggest a "formal" email from Niels, in the name of the council, notifying him that someone else wants to take over his project and that the council agrees. As the project is currently empty, and so nothing will be lost, I would give him 1 more week to respond to that email. If the project had content but seemed to be abandonned I would say the process should be to give him 2 weeks to respond, then archive the project before handing it over (is there a way to rename an existing project so it could be named "-old" or something?).

I can set you as admin for that project as you seem to be a lot more active than the current admin. I'd like to get an OK from the council so we all agree on this. If there had been data in the project it was a more difficult decision, but now it seems completely empty. A policy on this kind of takeovers doesn't exist, but I guess common sense and communication would help solve issues like this. > DOSBox garage link: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/dosbox > > > -- > Javier > > -- Niels Breet maemo.org webmaster ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Garage project takeover
Hello, I am currently doing some maintainance work on DOSBox for Maemo (and I am the author of the current package in -devel). In order to fulfill the extras QA bugtracker requeriment and my own need for a VCS repo, I considered registering a new project in Garage, but found that the project was already registered. Quite a few months ago I contacted the maintainer, but he hasn't answered yet, and the Garage interface won't let me spam him again until he accepts or declines the current request. So, a week ago, I sent him an email, with still no reply. I could register a "dosbox2" project, or just ignore Garage and go straight to a b.m.o component and a gitorius project, but since the Garage project already exists and is virtually empty, I'd like to know if there's any policy about takeover of empty/abandoned Garage projects by "new maintainers", or to kickstart discussions about one if it does not exist yet.
