I'm not talking about you here. You have clearly indicated that you resign as custodian, which I have accepted. So why should I poke you? > I used to be subscribed to a whole bunch of lists, but after hitting > around 70,000 unread e-mail, I decided to unsubscribe from most of > them, including u-boot and LKML. > > Of course, this is also the main reason why I wanted to resign as a > custodian; I felt I hadn't been able to do a proper job for some time. > But this makes it especially odd that I wasn't Cc'd on the discussion > about custodianship. A custodian who is not subscried on the mailing list? How is this supposed to work? I have to admit that I never expected somebody would come up with such a concept. > > Third, there have been patches posted that clearly fall in their > > domain, and there is zero response: no comment, no activity in the > > custodian directory, no pull request, nothing. > > If I wasn't Cc'd, that would explain it. Of course, it's always best if It has never been a requirement to Cc: the custodian. It is up to the custodian to pick up the work that falls into hiw bailiwick, including for example global changes that happen to affect his architecture / subsystem. Of course this requires that you are subscribed. And that you actually *read* the list, at leats to the extend that you recognize certain buzzwords in the Subject: lines, like the name of the architure you feel responsible for. > maintainers follow all relevant mailing lists, but sometimes it's just > not an option, not if you're working on several other projects besides > u-boot. Your idea of working as a maintainer is very much different from mine, and from the actual requirements for the job. > Thanks, I'll have a look at those. Please forgive me for following the > link on your mailserver ;-) mailman has certain restrictions and limitations, but I'm not an expert in that field. If you know better solutions, then suggestions are welcome.
