There is no reason to give for stopping being a maintainer in fedora. Everything regarding maintainership (inactivity, mail not reaching anymore) is public anyway. As a side note, I am not saying that this policy should be applied to people @redhat, but for other fedora contributors there is a need for a policy like this one, and things have to be public. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
