I implied this. I won't edit such xml files by hand on a regular basis. Even |
| 10 |
with such a tool it will need quite a bit more time, depending on what you |
| 11 |
want to put in these xml files. Regarding security vs bugfixes: For security |
| 12 |
we have glsa-check already and important bugfixes are handled via a marked |
| 13 |
stable -rX, so I don't see the problem here, beside that there is no |
| 14 |
extensive information given, which someone would need to write. |
| 15 |

| 16 |
I mean, we are not even able to fix all the metadata.xml files. A lot are |
| 17 |
simply missing, a lot name retired devs* as maintainer and quite a few list |
| 18 |
bug-wranglers or no-herd in it. Unless we do not have more developers it is |
| 19 |
not a good idea to force more overhead on us as necessary. |

*devrel isn't even able to provide a complete list of retired devs |
