If you prohibit people from doing that, they'll just commit it |

I propose that we should be more aggressive about package.masking (for |
| 25 |
removal) all maintainer-needed packages from the tree by doing that |

one month after they become maintainer-needed. If someone doesn't |
| 27 |
volunteer to take care of it, it probably wasn't important anyway. |
