Well, IMHO, this is to allow the maintainer to come back and resume work without having to re-request access to all their packages. Anyones account could be compromised anytime, I'm not sure inactive people are more at risk. >> I forgot to add this ticket for the relevant non-responsive maintainer >> ticket: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1542 > > Yeah, cicku has been inactive for some time, his last build succeeded > more than two years ago. > > However, the ticket suggests, that the non-responsive maintainer process > has not been followed correctly. > > Anyways, there was the FESCO decision to orphan his packages [1], it > seems that didn't happen completely? It did happen. Any package where they were point of contact (Main admin) was changed to 'orphan'. It would be odd to change the point of contact on packages they aren't the main point of contact on. Anyhow, I think we need to revamp the unresponsive maintainer process, but it's unclear to what. Proposals welcome. kevin
