We can talk about a council email, but in general anybody can |
| 11 |
co-maintain anything in Gentoo without anybody's blessing. I don't |
| 12 |
think we need to treat this situation any differently than any other. |
| 13 |
I think the only real question as far as maintainership goes is |
| 14 |
whether he is gone for good or not, in which case existing packages to |
| 15 |
go maintainer-needed. |

If somebody wants to start co-maintaining some of those packages today |
| 18 |
they don't need to wait for a council blessing. They should just add |
| 19 |
themselves to the metadata. That doesn't preclude hasufell from |
| 20 |
continuing to co-maintain when he returns. |
