Ok, I say Bernhard's maintainer now. He puts out releases. Erik: Bernhard sound good to you? The handoff to Mike didn't take. He sort of vanished four months ago, having never put out a release. His last post to this list was June 5th, at which point the previous release from you was 14 months old and there were still no concrete plans for a new one. Bernhard's put out two -rc candidates already and has a specific deadline (end of the month) for 0.9.30. I'm all for this. I point out the following exchange, which occurred between him and me on the #uclibc channel on freenode today (and should eventually show up in full at http://ibot.rikers.org/%23uclibc/20081015.html.gz ): [12:39] <blindvt`> 'lo [12:41] <landley> blindvt: hiya. [12:41] <landley> So I say you're maintainer now. I'm going to poke Erik about it. [12:41] <landley> You put out releases. [12:42] <blindvt`> landley, i'll do the 0.9.30, that's all. I don't care about being maintainer or not ... [12:44] <landley> Are you saying you don't want to handle releases after 0.9.30? [12:44] <landley> This was a one time thing? [12:44] <landley> Because uClibc _needs_ a maintainer. Mike didn't, and Erik's retired. [12:45] <blindvt`> landley, one step after the other. I'll keep the thing going, but no promises ... [12:46] <blindvt`> landley, so yes, if you see it that way, i play maintainer *shrug* ... [12:46] <landley> (Maintainer isn't really an honor, it's actually a janitorial position.) [12:47] <landley> We want to put your name on the little sign on the supplies closet with the mop, just so we know who to blame. :) [12:47] <blindvt`> landley, i did _alot_ janitorial stuff recently, so yea [12:47] * blindvt` grins I say we shanghai him.
