That sounds bad. Also, how can orphan be comaintained? Won't comaintainer be automatically elevated to a maintainer?There's no setup to do that automatically, it's up to the comaintainer to note that the maintainer orphaned the package and take ownership. Normally you would think if you were co-maintaining something you would notice if it was orphaned I would think... kevin
-1 That's poor app design and, IMO, a bug. The software *should* allow the maintainer to relinquish responsiblities and either A) designate a new maintainer OR B) have maintainership automatically shift to the next co-maintainer (for simplicity, this could be based on date commit rights were granted to the package's repo) Both use cases should be supported because allowing a co-maintained package to be orphaned without the consent of *ALL* maintainers makes no sense. ---Brett.
