Once upon a time, Vít Ondruch vondruch@redhat.com said:
It would be reasonable, on the beginning of each development cycle, to publish a list of packages which were not touched by it maintainer in previous release. For all these packages, new co-maintainer could stepped up and they would be granted the co-maintainers privileges automatically.
How is "not touched" automatically a problem that needs new maintainers? Not every package has rapid development that necessarily needs a package update within a 6 month period.
