Stepping away from packaging (and request for owners)

[Jamie Nguyen]

Hi all,

It's been incredible to part of this project and community! :-)



Once upon a time I was an (over?)enthusiastic packager and it's left me
with ownership of 300+ packages. O_o

In the last couple years I haven't been able to dedicate enough time to
Fedora, and I've just about kept my most important packages ticking along.

I keep thinking I'll eventually get around to everything, but I should
probably stop kidding myself! So it's time to step down and let other
people do a better job than I'm doing :-)

(Of course, I still plan to use Fedora for my servers and laptops
indefinitely!)



Unfortunately, I have an insane number of NodeJS packages (sorry!), but
here's me trying to step down in a helpful manner:


1. nginx, tor and torsocks have active co-maintainers who've been doing
a great job. Massive thanks to Felix (heffer) and Marcel (maha) in
particular! I've emailed them to see if they want ownership.

2. I have 5 packages that need owners. Volunteers welcome. [a]

3. I've removed my admin & commit access from 10 packages. These are
owned by someone else, but some may be in need of co-maintainers. [b]

4. I've removed my admin & commit access from 30 NodeJS packages. Most
are already owned by tomh so are in brilliant hands. [c]

5. I have 148 NodeJS packages that are listed as runtime dependencies by
other packages (in rawhide). These need owners and love. [d]

6. I have 7 NodeJS packages that are listed as BuildRequires by other
packages (in rawhide) but aren't runtime dependencies. These need
owners. [e]

7. I have 75 NodeJS packages that are *not* listed as dependencies (in
rawhide) by any other package. These may need owners. [f]

8. I've sent emails to co-maintainers for 51 packages asking if they
want ownership. [g]

9. There are 39 other packages that I need to ask someone to remove my
commit access from (where I'm not admin so can't remove myself).
Hopefully that's scriptable by a Proven Packager?


After a few weeks, if there are any packages I own where nobody has
volunteered to take ownership, I'll orphan them.
