<PRE>2011/9/16 Michael Scherer &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">misc at zarb.org</A>&gt;:
&gt;<i> Then we can increase the heuristic, like &quot;upgrade to a new version&quot;, or
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;do several commit on it&quot;. Someone upgrading a package either :
</I>&gt;<i> - is interested in it for the package ( and thus would be a maintainer )
</I>&gt;<i> - is interested into having it upgraded for using on another package
</I>&gt;<i> ( and thus, as a user of the rpm for another rpm, has a interest to not
</I>&gt;<i> make it disappear ).
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> And i doubt that someone would do X commit on a rpm if not interested in
</I>&gt;<i> it.
</I>
I agree, though I'm afraid that some packagers may be reluctant to
update some packages they are only a bit interested in, because they
don't want to be automagically assigned as maintainers for these
packages.

It would be a shame if we were forced to drop packages because noone
wants to maintain them, though I agree that having packages without
maintainers is not a viable long-term solution. This said, I should
really consider joining the dev team (after a bit of messing around
with easy packages, though).

Regards,
R&#233;mi / Akien
