We could easily create a new class of bugzilla ticket, say
"MAINTAINED". An automated process would generate such tickets,
blocking F13MAINTAINED. The ticket would ask the maintainer to close
the ticket to remain the owner of the package. Tickets still open
after $SOMEDELAY would be candidates for orphan or non-responsive
maintainer process. Repeat at $SOMEINTERVAL, perhaps once per release
cycle (more would be too onerous I think).
With a slight modification, my ftbfs bugzilla script could generate
the tickets.
Thoughts?
I like the idea. I like it even more if we could make a make-target for
saying "I'm here, shut the hell up" so it can be done easily.
So, for Hans' situation - if he has 150 pkgs - we file a 'MAINTAINED' bug
on any of the pkgs which has not had any change in a full release.
that should narrow the number of bugs he has to deal with, I'd think.
