Hi everybody,
In the past few weeks, it has come up regularly that future
"module-only" packages are orphaned (and hence will soon be retired),
and nobody stepped up to fix this issue - especially for non-leaf
packages. I don't think fedora as a project has a solution for this
yet.
I propose to create a "Stewardship" Group / SIG that will take care of
such packages - either until a new main maintainer steps up, or until
modularity matures enough so it won't be necessary anymore. (Or, until
it dies a quiet death, which is always a possibility.) However, I
think this is necessary until the situation stabilizes.
Comments and future contributors are very welcome.
Fabio
