The way I understand it, the only things that should be picked up are |
45 |
those package that have already been in the tree for 180 days. So, it |
46 |
wouldn't be submitting requests for unmaintained packages constantly |
47 |
unless somebody is sneaking in bumps. After this first large batch I'd |
48 |
imagine the requests to taper off quickly. |
