If the mail address of a maintainers do not work anymore, then their packages should be orphaned, so that others can maintain them. If the mail address does not work, then all bug report notifications would get lost and also communication attempts using the package-owner aliases. Therefore it should be made sure there is always someone caring about these messages for each package. > * Should we formalize the unwritten policy for Red Hat maintainers who leave > the company and don't want to maintain their packages anymore? Yes, unwritten policies are always bad. > * Do we need sanity checks to be sure maintainers who do want to keep > their packages do so? What kind of checks do you mean? If maintainers want to keep their packages, they can just change the owner of the package to their new private account before leaving Red Hat. > * Do we want something more generic that covers other compaines that pay > their employees to package for Fedora? Does it need to be different than the currently unwritted Red Hat policy? If not, then it could just be the same policy Red Hat can be used as an example, if needed. Regards Till
