Has anybody had any contact with Igzacio since this was first brought up
in the FESCo meeting on the 19th? Last we heard Warren was still trying
to reach him by phone. If so, what's the news? If not, will somebody
(preferably from FESCo) lay down a timeline for when the AWOL process
began and when the next set of deadlines will fall. Do we start
counting from when FESCo approved to start the AWOL process? Does this
particular instance warrant an expedited process since his absence
started in May? Are we as current maintainers allowed (as suggested and
I mistakenly acted upon for php-json) to respond to his open bugzilla
reports, or does all our red tape impede progress?
I agree with Till that the AWOL policy should be amended to include the
case when a Maintainer is AWOL from several (or all) of his packages,
that all those packages are considered orphans up for adoption, and
possibly removal further down the road if nobody is interested in taking
them. The current AWOL policy assumes there is always somebody ready
and waiting to adopt the neglected package.
I also think (as hinted above) that an explicit provision should be made
when other contributors can intercede and fix open bug reports (halfway
through step 2?), especially for security-related bugs (maybe even a
separate, sooner time for this). 3 weeks + 3 days + <time required to
determine that a maintainer "isn't answering his bugs" (2+ weeks?)> is
much too long to stall progress in the name of policy.

I filled a bug report for this:

Ignacio has been missing for sometime. The AWOL guide lines is a good
place to start. I think some people have picked up on some of his packages
already, but the AWOL process should be used here.
Thanks!
