A lot of ebuilds probably fall under this category, and we should figure |
| 18 |
out how we want to handle all of them. I say mask the GNUStep stuff for a |
| 19 |
month or two, put something on staffing-needs saying we need someone to |
| 20 |
maintain them, and see what happens. You can put me down as the contact on |
| 21 |
the staffing-needs page if you want. I hate to see things that are useful |
| 22 |
to our users taken from the tree, but there isn't much we can do when |
| 23 |
there is no one to maintain them. |
