Hi Alex, I agree that in these cases an immediate orphaning of the packages is justified, as the packager in question is clearly no longer active. You might want to ask a provenpackager to push your fix directly to dist got though, to get the changes in place in time.

I can't find a working e-mail address for him, and @chimosky and I are trying to get the remaining core Sugar packages updated to the current version, before the F34 freeze happens. Therefore, time is of the essence. The only two e-mail addresses I could find for Simon were both aliases, simon@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:simon@xxxxxxxxxx] and simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]. Both are no longer functional, nor have they been for a couple of years. > >As an aside, I'd like to propose that FESCO consider revising the requirements to simplify/expedite assumption of packages which have clearly been abandoned by their previous maintainers. Perhaps "has not authenticated to FAS in 2+ years" could be considered a form of abandonment? This subject seems worthy of discussion at the next FESCO meeting. > $ ./fedora_active_user.py --user erikos >FAS username: aperezbios FAS password for aperezbios: Last login in FAS: erikos 2017-03-10 Last action on koji: Sun, 06 Dec 2020 tag_package_owners entry revoked by oscar Last package update on bodhi: No activity found on bodhi _______________________________________________ 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
