-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all,
there have been a number of packages masked lately due to lack of maintainer. However, their metadata.xml does not list [email protected] which I think should be the first step in searching for a new maintainer. (The last being mask and treecleaning.) The problem with this is that it keeps them off the radar[1] and also formally prevents them from getting treatment from proxy-maintainers or sunrise projects. Is there anything that speaks against making metadata.xml tell the truth? At least the following packages are affected: # Markos Chandras <[email protected]> (02 Feb 2012) # Multiple security bugs: 284356, 341085, 369137, 384243, 401993 # No maintainer. Removal in 30 days www-apps/twiki # Andreas K. Hüttel <[email protected]> (27 Jan 2012) # Has developed into an unmaintainable mess, and everyone who # knows about it is either retired or missing in action. # Several minor bugs and one ugly security issues (#386271). # Masked for removal because of lack of maintainer. # Please try app-text/epdfview as light-weight replacement. app-text/xpdf # Samuli Suominen <[email protected]> (26 Jan 2012) # No support for stable TIFF 4.x wrt #400925 with multiple # other issues wrt #297150, #356083, #335864 and #318485. # Version bump request been open since 2011-03-30 wrt #361187 # Unless fixed, removal in 30 days <net-misc/hylafax-6.0.5 x11-misc/tkhylafax # Jorge Manuel B.
