However the sponsors should consider every contribution to fedora extras, including working on AWOL packages for sponsorship. I also think that a maintainer should not be considered AWOL when he has shown some activity in a package or other packages even if he doesn't respond to some bugs in a particular package. If he is still active in other parts of fedora extras, maybe it could be the sponsor responsibility to try to come to an agreement. I also think that "a maintainer isn't answering their bugs, not answering rebuild requests, emails or the like" opens a bit too much for interpretation. In my opinion it should be only serious issues that allows AWOL procedure. Like security bug, big usability bug, broken dependency, or a need to rebuild against newer library version. I don't think it would be right to allow people to bug maintainers for minor/wrong issues and then start the AWOL procedure. -- Pat -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
