One thing I still don't understand is why all of our java packages are orphan-affected by the orphaning of java-1.8.0-openjdk. None of them BuildRequires a JDK, and the source/target/release values for the packages range from 6 to 17. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
Cheers,
Chris

Removing inactive packagers (who have not
made any package updates, nor responded to
direct emails, for an extended period are removed
from the packagers group as part of good
security hygiene per:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_inactive_packagers/
It is an artifact of that fact that in Fedora, packages
have only one main admin, and when that packager
is removed from the packagers group, their packages
get orphaned (there is no automated promotion,
and nor should there be, to select one of the other
maintainers, as that would also imply other
responsibilities that one might not want). You (or
other interested packager) can go to:
https://src.fedoraproject.org
and "Take" that packager to become the new
main admin/owner.
