</I>><i> I think it's good to just simply mark it in the 1st line of a svn-spec:
</I>><i> "# (name) date message", e.g. "# (john) 2011.12.20 please don't touch

</I>><i> There is already a list of sensitive packages here
</I>><i> <A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Sensitive_packages">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Sensitive_packages</A> maybe just it is

imho the best solution is that everyone checks if there's a maintainer for it
and asks maintainer first...
i mean, it's all nice that it's in the spec file, but i think people who bump,
rarely look inside spec file... (not saying any names)
if something has got to be checked, maintainership is a good place to start
if we would have some kind of page which would list the activeness of
maintainers, via gathering info from commits/bugzilla/mailinglist/forum/ stuff,
that could be a nice place too. then we could see if this maintainer is
actually inactive or not. i would hope this would lessen the amount of people
just bumping stuff if they don't maintain it...
