Hi gang, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just (again) noticed I'm currently the only active developer of the |
| 4 |
desktop-misc herd, which is going to change as soon as the recruitment |
| 5 |
process is reopened again. |
| 6 |
About 80% of all bugs assigned to desktop-misc are new ebuild |
| 7 |
submissions for software which either falls into no other graphical |
| 8 |
application herds responsibility or applications that are not wanted by |
| 9 |
the relevant herds. Which is just fine, I don't want to hear any whining |
| 10 |
here, it's one of the purposes of the desktop-misc herd. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Anyway, as I've already said I'm the _currently_ the only active herd |
| 13 |
member and simply cannot take the responsibility of about 100 new |
| 14 |
packages. |
| 15 |
Therefor I suggest introducing a new keyword to bugzilla's resolution |
| 16 |
list, called NEEDMAINTAINER. |
| 17 |
With this new keyword everyone could compile a list of currently |
| 18 |
unmaintained packages and just take the ones he likes. Additionally this |
| 19 |
would be a great opportunity for non-developers for starting their |
| 20 |
carrier within Gentoo. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
PS: If I'm repeating my self.. It's 4:30am and I'm awake for 68 hours, |
| 23 |
so.. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Regards, |
| 26 |
