When the MIA team has determined that a person is MIA,[1] it can send bugs informing all packages where that person is listed in Uploaders that the person is no longer active. For small teams (e.g. 2 people in a team maintaining 1 package) this is also a way for seeing when 0 team members are left who are still active in Debian. > Cheers, > gregor cu Adrian [1] or retired, all this is about what happens after it has been determined that a person is no longer active in Debian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
