Greetings. Last year we asked everyone to change their fedora account system password and upload a new ssh public key. The deadline for this was 2011-11-30. Those who had not uploaded a new key or changed their password were marked 'inactive' in the fedora account system. Some subset of those inactive users were/are package maintainers. On 2012-01-10, we are going to remove these inactive users from package acls. This will result in some packages being orphaned and available for other maintainers. Any packages not owned prior to Feature Freeze for Fedora 17 (2012-02-07) will be retired. A full list of users and packages and acls affected as of 2012-01-06 can be found at: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3046 If you know a user who is currently inactive and affected by this process and have a way to contact them, please ask them to change their password and upload a new ssh key and they will continue to hold their package acls.
