Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
The Python team is dropping itself from maintainers of the following |
4 |
packages. As a result, those packages no longer have any maintainer: |
5 |
|
6 |
app-admin/supervisor |
7 |
app-editors/leo |
8 |
app-misc/yworklog |
9 |
app-text/pdfminer |
10 |
app-text/pylize |
11 |
dev-util/bumpversion |
12 |
dev-util/tailor |
13 |
net-ftp/pybootd |
14 |
net-im/turses |
15 |
net-irc/redirbot |
16 |
net-misc/charm |
17 |
net-misc/pycnb |
18 |
net-misc/whatportis |
19 |
net-news/rawdog |
20 |
net-voip/blink |
21 |
sys-process/glances |
22 |
www-apps/bitten |
23 |
x11-misc/menumaker |
24 |
|
25 |
Those packages are not really part of the Python ecosystem. Most of |
26 |
them had python@g.o added as a co-maintainer (or in some cases as |
27 |
the only maintainer, without even bothering to ping us) because |
28 |
the software in question was written in Python, and never had been |
29 |
really maintained by the Python team. Once the primary maintainer |
30 |
abandoned them, they became sole Python team responsibility. |
31 |
|
32 |
Using this opportunity, I would like to note that there really is no |
33 |
reason to add Python team as co-maintainers to every software ever |
34 |
written in Python. The Python team focuses on maintaining tools |
35 |
and modules needed to use and develop Python on Gentoo. |
