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

</I>But what's up with the time after the grace period?
