Removing inactive packagers (who have not made any package updates, nor responded to direct emails, for an extended period are removed from the packagers group as part of good security hygiene per: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_inactive_packagers/ It is an artifact of that fact that in Fedora, packages have only one main admin, and when that packager is removed from the packagers group, their packages get orphaned (there is no automated promotion, and nor should there be, to select one of the other maintainers, as that would also imply other responsibilities that one might not want). You (or other interested packager) can go to: https://src.fedoraproject.org and "Take" that packager to become the new main admin/owner. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
