Looking for a new maintainer for Phoc and Phosh DE packages

[Tomi Lähteenmäki]

Hi all,

I'm looking for new maintainer for following packages:

- phoc (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/phoc)
- phosh (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/phosh)
- phosh-mobile-settings 
(https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/phosh-mobile-settings)
- phosh-tour (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/phosh-tour)
- stevia (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/stevia)

As much I have liked to maintain these packages I'm lacking time to 
keep up with the releases as these are under active development. I'm 
more than happy to help the new maintainer to get going and I can be a 
co-maintainer if wanted or needed.

I have to say that upstream is very helpful and one of the main 
developers is hanging out in Mobility SIG's Matrix channel. As the 
packages are under active development they sometimes need handling of 
new dependencies etc. but otherwise they just occasionally require some 
fixes one line fixes, see for example: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh-mobile-settings/-/merge_requests/181. 
Some other phosh-* components might still good to be packaged but I 
haven't had time to package them all.

I hope someone steps up as I would not want to see these to be retired 
as they are core part for Mobility SIG's efforts. I'll wait for few 
weeks if some is willing to take the maintainership.

Regards,
Tomi

Thanks for all your hard work keeping these packages up to date over the last couple of years.

I already have commit access to these three. Happy for you to make me the primary maintainer / admin of them.

I don't have access to these, but I'm happy to take these over as well. gmanka has already expressed interest in co-maintaining stevia.

Absolutely no need for them to be retired! :) Leave them with me, and I'll make sure to find another co-maintainer or two.

Thanks again for all your efforts!

Done.

It would have been sad to see these to be retired so take good care of 
them :)

Thanks!
