I recall a number of years back a proposed gcc upgrade broke many builds. This required most maintainers to log in and refactor their source code against the new gcc (and new gcc options).I hadn't logged into Fedora for years however I did do my due diligence and rather quickly logged in and fixed any issues.The recent move to remove inactive maintainers from the maintainers group is something I fully agree with for reasons of security against the current limitations of the maintainer privileges framework.However, this latest move to orphan packages that don't have maintainers seems rather clandestine as it's not related to security but rather a byproduct of the point mentioned above. If security wasn't an issue in the first place then we wouldn't be having this discussion.
orphan list is here: https://churchyard.fedorapeople.org/orphans.txt
you got the date and hour of report ( Report started at 2023-11-19 20:20:42 UTC ) so you know if is updated or not .
I wonder what spectacle will ensue should we ever need to refactor the source code again for extraneous reasons only to find a significant part of the maintainer cohort needs to go through the proven maintainer process again.On Sun, 19 Nov 2023 at 07:09, Kevin Fenzi <kevin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi all,
Today, 2023-11-18, we have removed inactive packagers
from the packager group.
This is in accordance with the FESCo policy on inactive packagers:
If the removed user is 'main admin' for a package, this package
will be orphaned. If there are co-maintainers for the package,
one of them should take the role of 'main admin',
by clicking "✋ Take" on
`https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/<package>`".
Otherwise any packager may take the package while it's orphaned.
After 6 weeks, the package will be retired.
After another 8 weeks, a new review is needed to unretire it.
see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_orphan_and_retired_packages/
for more details.
