There a very active packagers (and developers who also do packaging tasks) who don't respond to [all] tickets due to various reasons. Some of the reasons are valid. Become a package maintainer yourself, Harald, before you judge about them all. I understand this thread as a comment on improving the detection of inactive maintainers and unmaintained packages. Existing procedures only cover the case when an inactive (or "non-responsive maintainer") has been detected already: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers Nothing is in place to detect inactive maintainers automatically. FTBFS can help with detecting unmaintained packages, but sometimes this leads to discovering that the packager has stopped using Fedora package git many months ago already, for example. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
