Greetings,
At today's FESCo meeting there were two tickets which had the end result of needing to have new maintainers and comaintainers for some packages:
== https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1028 ==
tor package was reassigned to a new maintainer. Former maintainer dropped ownership of his other packages. Those are now orphaned and in need of a new owner. Note to potential new maintainers: although not mandatory, you may want to open an optional re-review request as the spec files for some of these may be very out of sync with the current Fedora Packaging Guidelines
* clamav * dhcp-forwarder * fedora-usermgmt (epel branches still owned by ensc) * gif2png * hunt * ip-sentinel * kismet * libextractor * libtasn1 * milter-greylist * mimetic * util-vserver * x11-ssh-askpass * xmlrpc-c * dietlibc (devel is still owned by ensc but maybe that was an oversight)
== https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1091 ==
Non Responsive Maintainer ticket for mediawiki. The mediawiki package was assigned a new maintainer due to nonresponse. The former owner owns other packages as well. Fesco asks that comaintainers be solicited for these packages. If package maintainer is nonresponsive for more packages, consider performing the Mass Orphaning clause of the Nonresponsive Maintainers Policy:
