Due me recently taking xsane due it being not fixed/updated for a long |
2 |
time, I noticed its maintainer was in devaway since 2010 September. |

|
4 |
Maybe they should be pinged and retired if no reply is received like |
5 |
done with other cases. What do you think? :-/ |
6 |
|
7 |
That people that seems to be inactive for a long time look to be the |
8 |
following: |
9 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/devaway/ |
10 |
|
11 |
battousai -> Already in retirement process (but looks stalled since end |
12 |
2010, not sure why, probably retirement team didn't have time?) -> |
13 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34864 |
14 |
|
15 |
blackace -> not sure about his current status, looks like he will move |
16 |
to staffer per https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45816 , in that |
17 |
case, maybe his devaway status could be removed. |
18 |
|
19 |
falco -> doesn't seem to be active for a long time |
20 |
|
21 |
fox2mike -> the same case |
22 |
|
23 |
markusle -> already handled in |
24 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105599 |
25 |
|
26 |
mrpouet -> https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266794 |
27 |
|
28 |
phosphan -> looks to be unavailable for some months :-/ |
29 |
|
30 |
tanderson -> Looks to not have committed for a long time, but I think he |
31 |
had other responsibilities in Gentoo (maybe the same applies to other |
32 |
people listed here) |
33 |
|
34 |
titefleur -> already handled in |
35 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195714 |
36 |
|
37 |
vorlon -> looks to not have committed everything to the tree since 2010 |
38 |
|
39 |
|

As some people are already being retired (like mrpouet), I thought that |
42 |
would be interesting to start dropping them from metadatas of packages |
43 |
they maintain, moving them to their respective herds or to |
44 |
maintainer-needed (after sending a mail to gentoo-dev announcing what |
45 |
packages are up to grabs). I can do this if you want. |
46 |
|
47 |
|
48 |
There are also some devaway entries that could probably be updated or |
49 |
removed by affected developers :-/ |

Best regards and thanks for taking care. |
