The ebuild-maintainership idea is going to be mentioned in the next GWN -- |
| 7 |
I would have mentioned it in the previous GWN, but it hadn't yet been |
| 8 |
fleshed out to the point where I thought it was solid enough to take to the |
| 9 |
community. |

I don't think I've seen too much discussion about the bugzilla problems you |
| 12 |
alluded too, at least not on -core. I'll scan the archives again before I |
| 13 |
write the next GWN and, if it's there, I'll summarize it. |

A better solution is making sure we move stuff from -core to -dev without |
| 25 |
having to be prodded. :) This is something that we need to start doing. |

Every "main" news item in the GWN is written by me, personally, so yes. |

It is formalized. Appropriate -core material is summarized and posted in |
| 36 |
the GWN. We've already identified and acknowledged the fact that the |
| 37 |
gentoo developers need to do a better job of keeping development stuff on |
| 38 |
-dev, rather than -core. Give us a chance to work on that. |
