You should still file a bug for two reasons:

As for the question in your post, I'll have a think. Thanks!

I am not against creating a bug, I do see it however as inefficient in this very case.

I do know however if I were to create bug and assign it to current single pam maintainer, it would hardly get noticed by other people, greatly reducing the feedback. Changing defaults will affect vast majority of Gentoo users, so gentoo-dev ml was the place I choosen.

I didn't realized that you are maintainer of pambase, though the /etc/security/limits.conf belongs to sys-libs/pam that has only zlogene.

I did mail zlogene regarding another package recently and got no response, thus pam itself seems maintainer-needed to me, and because of it a candidate for me to join as another maintainer and do the changes. I do not think it would make much sense for me to then create bug for myself to make this change of defaults, paper trail would be the commit subject and message itself, or perhaps I did not understood of what you meant here by paper trail, would appreciate clarification.

It would be great if you were interested in joining pam itself, and I am interested to also joining pambase, since those are so co-dependent it does not make sense to have split maintainers there.
