Ugh, sorry. I still can't get K-9 to let me reply at the bottom, so my reply got mixed in at the bottom of yours! *sigh* |

I have an idea that I'll pass by the council on the 14th. Basically, |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
1) we officially contact hasufell as the council |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
2) wait a week |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
3a) if he says he is coming back, then do nothing |
| 32 |
3b) if he says he might come back or doesn't answer then maintainers can |
| 33 |
adopt a package at will, making themselves first maintainer and hasufell |
| 34 |
second. packages that are not adopted after some time can be moved to |
| 35 |
maintainer needed |
| 36 |
3c) if he says he won't come back ever, period, full stop, then, as sad |
| 37 |
as it is, its open season |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I don't know how much community discussion this needs, but that's what |
| 40 |
I'm going to propose. As may be noted a few packages there are |
| 41 |
important and we don't want them left unmaintained while at the same |
| 42 |
time leaving the door open. Currently I'm baby sitting libressl and |
| 43 |
mbedtls. |
| 44 |
That sounds like a good idea to me. I think it's fair to treat something like this with same caution and gravity. It'd be hasty of us to divvy out packages at the first sign of a developer losing interest in or becoming angry with Gentoo. As you said, sometimes it gets to you. Personal lives have a way of influencing professional lives and volunteer work, and volunteer work is usually the first to suffer. |

I'll wait for a council decision before touching anything. |
