Fixing an open bug is up to the Treecleaning dev in question. I've been |
| 16 |
talking to some people on how exactly to handle this. I don't want to |
| 17 |
bump random packages and not add myself as maintainer; usually this |
| 18 |
amounts to the same package having a bug assigned to maintainer-needed |
| 19 |
or treecleaners in a couple of months (either for another bump; or some |
| 20 |
other reason). However if I were to take ownership of every maintainer |
| 21 |
needed package that has an ebuild I'd soon be the proud owner of about |
| 22 |
100 packages that I don't care about. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The masking and the e-mails and the bug filings are done for a reason; a |
| 25 |
loud and clear "this bug needs a maintainer or it's getting axed." Some |
| 26 |
stuff gets fixed (aka pornview) most of it gets punted instead. |
