I picked a random e-mail to reply to. I don't maintain that many |
| 30 |
packages (maybe 10 or so?). But if I have a bug (particularly a sec bug |
| 31 |
as in this case) and you haven't stablized it after five months then |
| 32 |
I'll probably just nuke the ebuild and drop your keywords and then |
| 33 |
change the bug title to "$arch got it's keywords dropped". Now of |
| 34 |
course I'd probably e-mail your alias a couple of times letting on that |
| 35 |
this is my evil plan and to please try and get to my bug. |

As an arch team you may not like it; and yeah it kind of sucks. If you |
| 38 |
want your keyword back there will still be a bug open for it and the |
| 39 |
arch team can always keyword it themselves. |

You can ask that we make a good faith attempt to not break the arch |
| 42 |
trees, and I think thats an acceptable request. But eventually I'm |
| 43 |
going to give up waiting on you. |
