We can definitely help in this case. Prerequisites are that there's a |
| 16 |
bug open and the package doesn't belong to base-system or toolchain |
| 17 |
projects. And I'd personally also throw it's not a critical one, even |
| 18 |
outside those projects. Then we can claim "maintainer timeout" and |
| 19 |
handle it. You can of course e-mail the package assignee directly, or |
| 20 |
ping them in IRC before that. |

The problem, even with this, is that no one gets a notification from the |
| 23 |
PR. The proxy-maint project doesn't get notifications for packages that |
| 24 |
don't belong to us - so we haven't seen such a PR even exists, unless |
| 25 |
browsing Github directly. That being said, it doesn't look like this |
| 26 |
package is getting much attention and if you use it, I'm sure the |
| 27 |
current maintainer wouldn't mind you jumping along with proxy-maint |
| 28 |
project to handle it better. Thanks! |
