Abandoned packages (mediawiki-openid and php-pear-Auth-OpenID-2.1.1)

[Kurt Seifried]

As per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers

I am emailing the list. It has now been almost 6 weeks since I filed
the bugs (with solutions) and added comments asking for a response.
Both of these packages as shipped are broken out of the box, and the
php-pear-Auth-OpenID-2.1.1 is incompatible with the shipped version of
PHP to add insult to injury.

Does anyone know how to contact the maintainers of the packages:

php-pear-Auth-OpenID-2.1.1
mediawiki-openid

The bugs are:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659930
php-pear-Auth-OpenID-2.1.1 is incompatible with PHP 5.3

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659926
Multiple wrong filenames in require_once directives for php-pear-Auth-OpenID-2

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659925
Multiple wrong filenames in require_once directives for mediawiki-openid

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659921
Documentation error in README.1st

I would like to take ownership of these packages and update/correct
them so that they actually work and are maintained.

So I've followed the process at

As per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers

With zero response from anyone so far (nothing from the maintainer,
nothing from anyone who might know how to contact the
maintainer/etc.).

So how do I go about this part of the process then:

    * If at least one FESco member approves the takeover, and no one
objects within 3 days, you may take over the package.

:( 

I was hoping he would chime in... he's been pretty busy in the past,
but always chimed in when needed.

I'll approve it as a fesco member. ;) Just ping me in 3 days and we can
add you to the package.

Sorry got caught up with some other stuff, pinging you as requested.

apparently broken =(.

Hum. You are not currently a packager? 
(or if so, I can't find your account in that group). 

If you aren't, we will need to get you sponsored before you can work on
these packages. If you are, can you mail me in private your account
info? 

Thanks, 

kevin

Sorry for the late reply, I have a filter rule for fedora-devel and
forgot to check the folder. My account name on FAS is "kurtseifried"
