People seem to forget that there's a simple solution: - main admin steps back and asks admins to pick up, one does There's even a second solution: - main admin disappears/gets removed by process and one admin takes over So, what we are talking about here is the case where the package got orphaned for whatever reasons, and no admin has picked it up (again, for whatever reason) nor advocated for substitutes. By definition of this case ("such package"), we're dealing with non-responsive maintainers here, where the 1st two solutions did not come to fruition. I see too much reading into others' responses on this list lately, to the point of skewing them completely. Now, I'm not reading bad intentions into that either. Maybe it's the (pre-)season, the need for holidays, or the topics themselves that came up. I just wish we'd all tone down a bit and focus on understanding each others arguments (not necessarily sharing them) rather than fueling the heat that is there already. I wish us all warmth instead :) Michael -- _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
