Just my two cents on that: you need to make clear if a module maintainer is a dictator or a steward for the module: does he has the last word on anything touching his module, or is there some higher instance to settle discussions that do not reach consensus? IMO the first approach creates two problems: - having just one responsible person for a module is a huge bet that this person will have good judgments. Be careful to let a maintainer position open instead of assigning it to the wrong person. - having many different dictators each ruling over a module can create difficult situations when a proposed change impacts many modules. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu at netbsd.org
