Non-responsive maintainer process for caillon, and retiring xchat

[Debarshi Ray]

Hello everybody,

I would like to initiate the non-responsive maintainer process [1] for
Christopher Aillon [2]. A long time ago, he used to be part of the
Fedora and Red Hat desktop teams. He is no longer around. He left
software development and was last seen living off the grid in Hawaii
[3]. Therefore I have jumped straight to the fourth step in the
aforementioned process.

Here is a list of his packages:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/caillon/

I am particularly interested in xchat, which I want to retire right
after removing Chris as the point of contact for his packages.

HexChat [5] is the natural replacement of XChat these days. XChat is
dead [6] - the last upstream release was seven years ago [7]. On the
other hand, HexChat has been a part of Fedora for the last four years,
upstream [4] is involved in both the Fedora [8] and GNOME communities,
and I learnt that the MATE spin already ships it by default.

For what it is worth, this was already discussed and approved on
desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org [9].

Cheers,
Rishi

I'd be interested in gnuchess and xboard, should they be orphaned.  I've
been doing a lot with gnuchess in later years.

This is done - caillon has been removed as the point-of-contact for
his packages, and xchat has been retired from the f27 and master
branches.

Yes, sorry for missing it initially.  However, I emailed
konradm(a)fedoraproject.org last Thursday after you pinged me on IRC.

Thanks for catching this!

Cheers,
Rishi

Ah, I'd been on PTO and now I see I missed your reply on IRC. Sorry for
that.

BTW xchat-tcl was subpackage coming from of xchat SRPM, so that should
be OK.
