I propose to change the scope of the SIG a bit.
Maintaining packages could be one of the activities of the SIG, but its primary purpose
should be to deal with this topic in general.
Watch for orphans, develop orphaning and retirement workflows, develop a strategy how to
manage those cases, how to prevent them, suggest guidelines on how to decide whether or
not one should move package to the module - topics like that.
It extends the scope, but it also opens some possibilities for us to work on the root
cause.
What do you think?
I agree 100% here.
Since my intention was to improve the situation around orphaned
packages, this is exactly what I was thinking about:
- provide (temporary) maintenance of important, orphaned packages
- monitor orphaned packages, spot issues early, actively look for new
maintainers
- probably report the current status regularly
- discuss and refine the current orphaning / retirement process
