Agreed with the added point that we also need to put limits on how
many
packages an single individual can own/maintain/co-maintain regardless of the
nature of the package ( high maintenance/low maintenance).
Finding that magic number should not prove too difficult something along the
lines of 8 hour sleep + 8 hours work + 2 hours in meals + 2 hours
recreation/family leaving 4 hours of the whole day to do various voluntary
community stuff.
Let's say on average it takes 30 minutes to deal with a single bug report
against a component and let's say on average that each component in the
project gets one report per day which gives us a maximum of 8 packages which
an single individual can maintain or co maintain within the project so 8
would be that magic number.
You've got to be kidding. In a little over three years, I've picked up
more than 300 packages and only 81 bugs - most of which are from
upstream release monitoring. I've got no problem at all keeping up
with the work.
