The proxied maintainer fixed exactly one bug while he was proxied maintainer. This happens too often. Some retire are one, others after very few contributions. Please advertise that you do not need to be maintainer to create a pull request. You should only be maintainer, if you are willing to monitor the bug tracker and take care of the packages in the long term. In the past we gave too often the impression "if you want this bug fixed, become a proxied maintainer" Our bugzilla does not help here (https://bugs.gentoo.org/719720) "No maintainer - Look at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers if you want to take care of it" While this is not totally wrong, it seems that we mislead the volunteers here. Perhaps some read "it" as the bug, while we mean "care for all bugs and keep the package up to date over the next years" -- Best, Jonas
