&gt;<i> this is a suggestion i already made with mandriva but it landed nowhere,

</I>&gt;<i> At the moment we have 1to1 relationship in all tools between maintainer
</I>&gt;<i> and package. But for some packages we have more than one people willing
</I>&gt;<i> to work on that package. Besides, for some critical package it may be
</I>&gt;<i> useful having more than one person responsible for it.
</I>&gt;<i> Also someone might be interested in helping on package foo, but feels
</I>&gt;<i> too much inexperienced to take full reponsability for it. Peer review is
</I>&gt;<i> important.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> The idea is not associating a package with a single maintainer, but
</I>&gt;<i> associate each package to a maintainer-group, say
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">NAME at packages.mageia.org</A>, and let maintainers subscribe to package
</I>&gt;<i> maintenance.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> this would result that in case a ticket is opened in bugzilla vs
</I>&gt;<i> package, all interested parties would be notified, and start working on
</I>&gt;<i> a solution. (this might require a bit of coordination, but maybe just
</I>&gt;<i> assigning the bug to a real person is enough to note someone is taking
</I>&gt;<i> care of the problem)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> In this case a package will become unmaintained if no-one is subscribed
</I>&gt;<i> to the group.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> we could even use refint_nothing in ldap to redirect
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">NAME at packages.mageia.org</A> to <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">unmaintained at packages.mageia.org</A> when noone
</I>&gt;<i> is subscribed to a package.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Regards,
</I>&gt;<i> L.
</I>

I am not averse to the idea.

however i would also like to have a way to check who's on that list (it could 
be integrated with <A HREF="http://maint.mageia.org">http://maint.mageia.org</A> ) perhaps we need to abandon the 
idea of single maintainer and have &quot;maintainers&quot; (with primary maintainer) ?
