We need to find a way to make this decision which does not become irretrievably blocked. AIUI at the moment the blocking problem is that we don't have a suitable new team. The selection of the new team is not something the ctte is any good at, and selecting maintainers by private email exchanges is bad anyway because it's not transparent, and also makes it difficult to chase up. Furthermore I guess no-one wants to stick their neck out. I propose the following solution: To: debian-devel, debian-python, existing python maintainer Subject: python-* orphaned, help wanted The Technical Committee have been petitioned to decide on the maintainership of the python packes. We agree with the substance of the complaint, but do not feel able to directly select the replacement maintainers. Therefore: We declare that the python packages (full list below) are now orphaned, exercising our power in s2 of the Constitution. Please would those interested in taking over Python maintenance form an appropriate team and take over the package. If competing teams should come forward, the package should be taken over by the largest. Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
