Perhaps I don't realize the trouble, could you elaborate? I expect orphaned packages to be adopted by someone, likely a member of Stewardship SIG. These two packages are low-maintenance and don't require much work - they don't have many upstream changes and don't get many bugs reported. So I don't see that much trouble in this case. > I acknowledge that it is your right to orphan essentially anything you want, > however the motivation here seems a bit... nonempathetic. > > Would you mind to reconsider? Definitely - this is the reason I wrote to the list. Do you have any proposal what to do with these packages instead of orphaning them? -- Mikolaj Izdebski _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
