Hi! On August 14 I've reposted three patches for xauth to this mailing list. I did so, because I had discovered that a 'Dr. Tilmann Bubeck' has added himself as maintainer of the xauth package to the xorg/doc/xorg-docs/MAINTAINERS file on Jan. 22 2013 - considering the change frequency of this file this is not that long ago. The only reply I ever got on any of the 3 posts was by Walter Harms.
So I did a quick check in the xauth package which did not turn up any contribution by this individual. After doing further investigations I concluded that this commit apparently was the only thing that he has ever contributed to any X.Org related package. Research on Google did not turn up any relevant affiliation to any X.Org related software. For this change his name and email address is listed not only for the author but also for the committer. This begs the question how did this commit ever get into the xorg-docs package? Did he commit this change himself - and if so, how did he get commit access to the X.Org repos? Or if he didn't do it himself (and he may not even be aware of this commit), who else did - using his name and email? Cheers, Egbert. _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
