After some talk on IRC yesterday, skvidal is the person doing work on
this
at them moment. His plan is to implement tests that try to tell if
individual packages are maintained and get people to orphan those that are
not. Here's his general plan for what to test:
"""
1. all the pkgs which have no devel checkins in > 365 days
1a, if the only checkins they have correspond to a massrebuild date
- then they still get counted as potentially abandoned
2. all the pkgs which have no builds, other than mass rebuilds in > 365
days then take that set of pkgs and if it is a LARGE number of pkgs
- then intersect that with pkgs which have bugs open to reduce the set
a bit b/c open bugs AND not looked at == problems for fedora
"""
We discussed whether to do reporting from this via bugzilla or another tool
and I'm leaning towards another tool so it's easy for a maintainer to look
through and a list of packages and check which ones they still care about.
skvidal would like to get the tests working first to see if we're talking
about a huge number of packages or only a few.
I'm going to try and generate a couple of lists today if I can get all my
koji-foo working properly.
