Looking for new owners of my packages
Hi there,
as (some of) you probably already have noticed, I have been a really
lousy maintainer for the last 1-2 years. I am just too busy with my
dayjob and in real life. Fortunately people like Kevin and Mukundan
have stepped up and took care of my Xfce packages. Thank you, I really
appreciate your help.
In March of last year I joined SUSE. My idea was to do SUSE /
Enterprise in my job and continue with Fedora / community as my hobby,
but this doesn't really work out. You have to eat your own dog food
and work with the community. I am no longer using Fedora on a daily
basis, thus I shouldn't maintain it. I will step down form most Fedora
roles, most importantly from my role as packager.
I just realized that I had a various ACL requests from Mukundan,
Robert and Michael pending in Package-DB. So far, I approved the
requests for commit access from Mukundan because I have already worked
with him, but I am unsure what to do with the others.
Robert, Michael: Are you still interesting in (co-)maintaining the
packages you applied for?
Kevin, Mukundan: Who should become primary owner of the packages?
And who of you four is willing to actually look after the packages,
means who will take care of watchbugzilla and watchcommitts?
I suggest we quickly discuss this here and then you apply for the
privileges you want. I will approve your requests and then give up my
privileges except for commit access. It's not like I'm completely
gone. ;-)
Best regards,
Christoph
