Overall, projects work if the members are active. Of course, they don't |
10 |
if not. |

So, whether a package is assigned to a project, a sole-maintainer, or |
13 |
co-maintainers means others will *unlikely* attempt to fix or bump the |
14 |
package. Of course, we know that some devs will inevitably bump the |
15 |
package when it get's in their way or they use it directly. |

However, if the package is assigned to maintainer-needed then |
18 |
proxy-maintainers, random contributors, and other Gentoo devs will feel |
19 |
more comfortable touching it. |

I believe the system works... |

I will happily revert my change on the graphics project Wiki as you may |
24 |
want to remove the other inactive members or recruit some folks to join |
25 |
the project. Then possibly pick up the stray packages that others |
26 |
haven't taken. |
