To stabilize gnome-3.6, we would need |
| 21 |
1. one or (preferably) two *active* gentoo developers; |
| 22 |
2. who are familiar with gnome's internals and are able to backport |
| 23 |
bugfixes from 3.8/3.10 without support from upstream developers; and |
| 24 |
3. who volunteer to run openrc+gnome-3.6 for a long time on their main |
| 25 |
machines so that they can give a stable 3.6 the support that the word |
| 26 |
'stable' implies. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
We do not have such people on the gnome team. |
