Non-responsive maintainer: crosa

[Henryk Paluch]

Hello!

I have issue with non-responsive maintainer crosa (Cleber Rosa)
that maintains Avocado-VT related packages (but some of these packages are included in Fedora base). There are
several important fixes required for Python3.14 (Fedora43) to work at all. Oldest bug in New state is from
February 2025 (so 9 months idle).

Bugzilla search url: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&columnlist=produc...

Results in CSV:

"ID","Product","Component","Assignee","Status","Summary","Changed","Severity","Priority"

I already tried to ping maintainer via [e-mail] on Nov 14
but received no response so far.

Please let me know what we can do to move things forward.

I see activity from Cleber in Fedora, and Avocado specifically, as
recently as a month ago.

Anyway, CC'ing him.

Urgh, that change removes the SPDX license expressions :-(

I've filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2415847 to request
that is fixed again to be compliant.

With regards,

It did not help - more than 1.5 month later all assigned bugs are still in state NEW:

Is there any way how to move these issues forward? (Oldest one is now nearly 11 months in state NEW).

Hello!

Following https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_... I created
bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2499900 regarding non-responsive maintainer crosa.

Oldest bug (assigned to crosa) is now 1 year old, still in state NEW: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2377418

This unfortunate state practically blocks using Avocado packages on Fedora due Python incompatibilities although there are awaiting PR fixes on GitHub.

Regards
