+I did not keep the original message - what has happened in the meantime?
+
+- has the goal concerning the number of maintainers been reached?
+- is CERBERUS still on a thick chain of tungsten (I hope!)?
+- what about the list of packages and their state of maintenance?
+- is there any follow-up?
+
+This issue is essential for the future of Mageia - Mageia must have a
+list of maintained packages that compares favourably to its competitor
+distros. I just saw a recent comment to bug 278: &quot; ... drakx-net does
+not have a maintainer ...&quot; - drakx food for Cerberos??? I think the idea
+to shout for new maintainers was excellent, and should be iterated. How
+about leaning on Mageia users that have competence, but are - so far -
+not actively involved? Magiea is a community distro!
+
+Could there be more information for such techy-newbies to motivate them,
+help them to jump down from the fence? Tell them what effort, what
+competence, what responsibility is implied by signing up? That is a
+long-term initiative! Nobody will reasonable start and immediately pick
+up tons of packages, I started with 2 (well, one of them is a set of
+packages). But only once I feel safe with that initial commitment I
+could consider taking more (which means a couple of months from now).
+
+I realize, Mageia is doing exceedingly well, and there is no need to
+dramatize the situation - but it is not me who invented Cerberos ... And
+the people who did Mageia 1 should have their hands free for doing
+Mageia 2 rather than polishing up old stuff.
