Hello, In the last meeting, the Council has decided that the solution to various problems with herds, projects etc. can't be achieved via ad-hoc voting. Instead, a full proposal was to be proposed in form of a GLEP.
I have collected the most important points raised during the meeting, and prepared a pre-GLEP for a new 'maintainership structure' [1]. Quoting the abstract: | Within this GLEP, the issues with the current package maintainer | description system are explained, and a new system that aims to solve | those issues is proposed. The current complex structure is replaced | with two well-defined maintainer types — people and projects. Herds | are removed in favor of projects, and project member listings are | provided in XML format. Maintainer listings in metadata.xml become | uniform, and can be used directly to assign bugs. Please review, comment and answer the questions in TODOs ;-). [1]:https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:MGorny/GLEP:Maintainership_structure -- Best regards, Michał Górny <http://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/>
