It's the AWOL procedure, and it assumes that the maintainer doesn't respond. It doesn't cover the case, where a maintainer shows up from time to time, but still doesn't take the requested/recommended action (such as applying a patch or upgrading to a new upstream release). And it boils down to FESCo deciding on how to proceed, which is exactly what is needed in the non-AWOL cases, too. -- Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) - Linux 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 loadavg: 1.05 1.20 1.37 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
