</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> That's not so good idea. What we maybe can do is that we send out a
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> warning that if you commit to a package after the warning and the

</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> first check what they get on their name. Many packages were imported by
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Anne, i'm not sure that she's going to maintain them all. :)
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I would do something like that:
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 2 months of warning period, if you touch package that has no maintainer
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> you become its maintainer. After 2 months we start dropping those
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> packages that have still no maintainer.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> This whole idea of 'touch a package, become its maintainer' assumes than
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> anyone modifying a package has an obvious interest in it.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Then we can increase the heuristic, like &quot;upgrade to a new version&quot;, or
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;do several commit on it&quot;. Someone upgrading a package either :
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> - is interested in it for the package ( and thus would be a maintainer )
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> - is interested into having it upgraded for using on another package
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> ( and thus, as a user of the rpm for another rpm, has a interest to not
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> make it disappear ).
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> And i doubt that someone would do X commit on a rpm if not interested in
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> it.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Are heuristics a good idea? How about just making mgarepo ask you if you
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> want to become the maintainer with a Y/n option (Y being default) when
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> you call submit on an unmaintained package.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> This should be simple enough that people genuinely maintaining it can
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> just hit return and also easy enough to opt out in the case of drive by
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> upgrades.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> This seems like a nice idea :)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>I like it too :)
