20 Does voip herd belong to any project, is there a leader? Can you guys
21 get together and decide who is doing what? And then remove inactive
22 devs from the herd, and put unmaintained packages up for grabs /
23 assign to maintainer-needed?
24
25 That would make things more transparent and maybe get some movement in
26 open bugs.
