In case of asio, I have contacted you back in 2018 [1][2]. The pull request I have filed [3] has been opened since. > The situation with asio right now is that Fedora with its asio-1.10.8 is not only behind arch and gentoo (both at 1.14.0), but also behind debian buster (at 1.12.2). Resiprocate, which is what was holding back asio update, has been retired due to FTBFS, then unorphaned at your request, and then retired again after being orphaned for 6+ weeks [4]. There has not been a successful build of resiprocate since 2016 [5]. > Again, I perfectly understand that you have a backlog and that updating asio is not on top on your priority list. Being sceptical about co-maintainership offers seems counter-productive though, as there are things which need fixing and other people willing to step in. > Hello Daniel, I would like to suggest that given our community and its modus operandi, I think it would be unfair to automatically be suspicious of the work fellow packagers are trying to do to help you. But, if it helps, I'd be willing to assist with the asio package. Hopefully, my track record speaks for itself, in terms of maintaining packages in Fedora and contributing to various aspects of the Project. I also sponsored Dakota (the OP who asked you about asio), and I have been mentoring him on how to interact with the larger Fedora community and I was the one who encouraged him to reach out to you on asio for EPEL 8. If you feel you are no longer able to give it the attention it needs, I would respectfully request you transfer the ownership to Dakota, who is interested in maintaining the package. If you have some concern with him maintaining it, feel free to transfer the package to me instead. Failing that, please just orphan the package so someone can take care of it in your stead. Thanks in advance, and thank you for being a member of the Fedora community.
