I've gone ahead with my proposal and created the Stewardship SIG. This includes the SIGs/Stewardship wiki page [0], the @stewardship-sig FAS group [1], to which high-priority orphaned packages can be assigned, and the stewardship-sig mailing list [2]. - Purpose The purpose of this SIG is to make sure fedora doesn't implode after package mass orphanings or retirements. The idea is that orphaned critpath packages and (build) dependencies of critpath packages (and maybe additional, other important packages) can be assigned to this group (if nobody else volunteers) to make sure they are taken care of, and don't have to be retired. - Scope This work complements, but doesn't replace the work on getting modular builds integrated better into the current "classic RPM packaging" workflows. However, since some packagers are already moving ahead with making packages module-only, this SIG will also serve as an interim band-aid solution here - to make sure, that - for example - the libreoffice package doesn't have to be retired. - Joining If you want to join me (I know that at least Miro and Neal showed interest), add yourself to the Members list at the bottom of the Wiki page, and/or apply for membership in the fedora accounts system (FAS) or on the group page on src.fp.org. I'll then add you to the mailing list [2] and FAS group (being a member of the @packager group is obviously a prerequisite, but being a @provenpackager is not - although it might be useful).
