There are very few left, off hand listed in order |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Miroslav Šulc (fordfrog) |
| 14 |
Really the only one for java stuff and is short on time. Some |
| 15 |
stuff like Tomcat PR falls back on me, as I used to maintain it. |
| 16 |
I mentioned that to him and it fell back on me. He is also very |
| 17 |
busy and barely has time for the packages he maintains. Which |
| 18 |
ended up including Tomcat in my absence. |
| 19 |

Benda XU ( heroxbd) |
| 21 |
Likely last resort but has potential, has some interest in Java |
| 22 |
some interaction over java-ebuilder and related. I rather not |
| 23 |
distract him from his efforts on recruiting others. I believe |
| 24 |
he has brought on a few other devs. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Patrick Lauer (patrick) |
| 27 |
I did proxy for years via but it was a waste of his time |
| 28 |
really. Likely still an option. Though that was never Java |
| 29 |
stuff it was other, assp, firebird, etc. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Mike Frysinger (vapier) |
| 32 |
One I trust the most, but I would never bother him with |
| 33 |
proxying bs, total waste of his time and others. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Diego Elio Pettenò (flameeyes) |
| 36 |
Same as mike, trusted but would never bother. I did ask for |
| 37 |
help on a package sometime back and he was very responsive and |
| 38 |
helpful. Not sure he is very active in Gentoo these days. |
| 39 |
|

However remove me entirely. Who is there to proxy Java stuff to tree? |
| 41 |
Trivial stuff is handled, but complex? Who is working with contributors? |
| 42 |
How easy is it for other Java contributors to get their work into tree? |
| 43 |
Anyone around to do such? Or any who even cares? |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
The problems extend far beyond myself. Java is NOT the only area, just |
| 46 |
an example. The firebird situation is funny and also involves Github... |
