Dear all, |
5 |
|
6 |
there have been a number of packages masked lately due to lack of |
7 |
maintainer. However, their metadata.xml does not list |
8 |
maintainer-needed@g.o which I think should be the first step in |
9 |
searching for a new maintainer. (The last being mask and treecleaning.) |
10 |
|
11 |
The problem with this is that it keeps them off the radar[1] and also |
12 |
formally prevents them from getting treatment from proxy-maintainers |
13 |
or sunrise projects. |
14 |
|
15 |
Is there anything that speaks against making metadata.xml tell the |
16 |
truth? At least the following packages are affected: |
