I don't even think the maintainer-needed ones should be bumped. Who |
| 20 |
knows what bugs you are introducing into the tree. This is why things |
| 21 |
eventually get treecleaned. |

As Mike said, for ones with maintainers, don't touch them unless you |
| 24 |
have explicit permission. We have maintainers for a reason, and if you |
| 25 |
don't know the intricacies of the package, you shouldn't be touching it. |
| 26 |
You should know how it works, how to test it, and what the normal |
| 27 |
problems of a bump are. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
With that being said, I don't really see the point of a bumpday. These |
| 30 |
day ideas are ignoring the fact that we don't have enough active developers, |
| 31 |
which is the real problem. |
