Thanks for the info - inactive maintainers are obviously a problem. Maybe the proper approach is for a more "Free-for-all" system like you suggest, with arch teams focusing on more arch-specific aspects of gentoo (such as the 32-bit libs for amd64, etc), and with arch teams having a QA oversight role for their arch. Perhaps arch teams should publish clear (and reasonably simple) policies they would like to see followed with their archs, and then devs could feel free to follow them on their own initiative. Accountability would obviously matter, but we don't want to chop off hands for first offenses, either. The Gentoo dev community is fairly closed - it isn't like just anybody can go keywording packages left and right. However, we do need to make sure that QA is followed. -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
