Regarding the following package from that list :
- NetworkManager-l2tp (owned by ivanromanov)
I've been maintaining the package (and upstream source) since 2016, but I'm not
the 'owner" or "main admin", just a member/admin.
What's the best way to become owner of the NetworkManager-l2tp package?
Thanks,
Doug
Since we're still unsure if ivanromanov is reachable or not, I'd say:
- open a BZ ticket on that package, asking ivanromanov to become the
main-admin
- wait and see if the package will be orphaned in case the main-admin is
removed by this policy, then you can take it over
I don't think it's wortwhile to open a unresponsive maintainer ticket at
this point.
