Re: Promoting co-maintainer to main maintainer for orphaned packages?

[Vít Ondruch]

I would object! We've been there prior we arrived to the current workflow. And the typical situation was that such package was moved from one non-responsive maintainer to the other non-responsive maintainer. With my handle beginning with "v" I was always the last to become the maintainer and I can telly you, waiting or actively calling out other inactive maintainers is PITA. I don't think there is any big issue with the current situation. There is 7 weeks for folks to figure that somebody could pick up orphaned package.

Here is random example from today's announce of orphaned packages:

I see lots of packages that are orphaned, but have one or more co-maintainer. Sometimes they may quickly take the package, sometimes they may be on holidays. Would you object if promote a co-maintainer to main maintainer for orphaned packages and make it a rule?
