I have been thinking we should ditch the rule as well. I think having a common home (even if a single maintainers is currently active) should make it easier for third-parties interested in multimedia to collaborate, and that may as well mean co-maintaining previously singly-maintained packages. Plus, many packages do not require much activity anyway. > I'd rather orphan/remove the packages from the > team that are clearly no longer maintained and nobody in the team cares about > them anymore. Any idea how to determine "clearly no longer maintained"? I think the 2-maintainers rule was intended to provide a way to demarcate that line, but it didn't fulfill its promise. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
