+&gt;&gt;<i> Before we start to do that, do you remember about these words:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Currently the data about ownership of packages is tracked in
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/maintdb.txt">http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/maintdb.txt</A> and umaintined packages are
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> listed in <A HREF="http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/unmaintained.txt.">http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/unmaintained.txt.</A> This will
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> be better integrated and managed at a later point, and we will have a
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> grace period for unmaintained packages. After the grace period, packages
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> without a maintainer will be reviewed and any packages without a
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> maintainer will be nominated for deletion.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> source <A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packaging_guidelines">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packaging_guidelines</A>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I look into many really abandoned packages, without any interest among
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the packagers, and for some of them it's even quite hard to find any
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> on-line resource.. For example cpuinfo, it's a /proc/* parser for CPU
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> related data. It's 2-3 years old (so what about the new hardware?!),
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> even the author of the software isn't responding to e-mail to just point
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> a working URL for his software.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> This example is not really about the package having no maintainer, but rather
+</I>&gt;<i> for it being dead upstream, which often leads to removal of the distribution
+</I>&gt;<i> unless a packager becomes the de-facto upstream and has time, willingness and
+</I>&gt;<i> knowledge to patch it when needed (works also if it's being maintained in
+</I>&gt;<i> other distributions).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Samuel
+</I>But what's up with the time after the grace period?
