But what about the other packages by these maintainers that do not fail to build but are probably as unmaintained as the packages that fail to build? > perl-SVN-Mirror iburrell (fixed by Till Maas; spot says kill it) > perl-SVN-Simple iburrell There is a minor error: I fixed the -Simple package with a patch submitted in the upstream bugtracker iirc 7 days ago. But I also noticed that the -Mirror package was removed from debian. But what about the other packages from this maintainer? He maintains around 36 other packages: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/iburrell E.g. the jigdo packages also has 4 bug. I looked at two an both did not receive any comments from the maintainer: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426847 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503833 Therefore the non responsive maintainer procedure, i.e. orphaning all packages from the affected maintainers, seems to me to be more appropriate.
