Hi all!
now that the package-DB is in production (thanks for your work toshio!) it makes it a whole lot more easy to become co-maintainer or approve then.
Thus I'd like to really find at least one (better two) co-maintainer for all of my packages now. Anyone interested? No, I don't want to put all the load on you, I just want to make sure someone feels responsible for my packages when I'm flying to the space again, get hit by a bus or are "away from keyboard" for other reasons.
And sure, of course I'm willing to become co-maintainer for other packages in exchange.
You can find a list of my packages (¹) at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/thl
For easier reference I cut-n-past the list of relevant (¹) packages here:
* atomix -- Little mind game where you have to build molecules out of atoms lying around
* enigma -- Clone of the ATARI game Oxyd (²)
* ghex -- A binary editor for GNOME
* gsynaptics -- Settings tool for Synaptics touchpad driver(³)
* gweled -- Swapping gem game
* mail-notification -- Mail Notification is a status icon that informs you if you have new mail
* python-crypto -- A cryptography library for Python
* python-html2text -- Converts a page of HTML into clean, easy-to-read plain ASCII text
* revelation -- Password manager for GNOME 2 (²)(³)
* rss2email -- Deliver news from RSS feeds to your smtp server as text or html mail
* tiobench -- Threaded I/O benchmark
* websec -- Web Secretary - Web page monitoring software with highlighting

(¹) -- please not that the web-page also lists gmime and icu as mine; That's partly true, as I'm maintaining those for EPEL (I owned them myself ages ago when they were not yet moved to Core)
(²) -- has one co-maintainer already
(³) -- I don't use these packages these days. So If you use then and want to take them over just let me know.
I'll co-maintain python-crypto as I'm using paramiko (which requries it) more and more frequently.

I'm interested to co-maintain this one. Request to pkgdb is done.

And approved for watchbugzilla, watchcommits and commit already. :-)
Note that I didn't give you "approveacls" permissions -- from looking at some other packages it looks to me that "only the owner has approveacls-permissions" is the commonly used scheme (at least afaics).

P.S.: Status update for my initial mail Adel Gadllah (drago01) is co-maintaining ghex with me. But if you are interested as well just request it via the wiki, as I think having at least three maintainers per package would be best.

The owner of a package essentially has all of the acls listed on the packagedb page. If you want a comaintainer to have all of the powers that you do, grant them everything that is there (including approveacls). If you want them to be able to do anything except approve other people's acl requests (make new comaintainers, etc) give them everything except approveacls.
The reason there are many packages which have everything except approveacls is because of how the import script decided on acls for packages. If you were a comaintainer in owners.list, you were added to all of the acls. If you were listed in pkg.acl, you received commit and watchcommit. If you were a CCList member in owners.list, you got watchcommit and watchbugzilla.
Owners and comaintainers are welcome to change things however they see fit.

Which is what I did. ;-)

thx for explaining this.

Well, is there any official suggestion/recommendation from us/FESCo how to handle it? For me it sounds the best if we normally leave approveacls up to the primary maintainer, as its his job to coordinate the different maintainers, so it might be good to leave this job to him normally.
But I don't care much (and maybe it's not even worth discussing)

I can help you with that one, if nobody claimed it yet...
drago already volunteered and got approved, but I think having two co-maintainers is the better then one.
So please go to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/ghex and apply for watchbugzilla, watchcommits and commit for devel and F-7 and FC-6 (and EPEL, if you want).
Note: I'll likely flip "cvsextras - the group members can commit?" bit when you joined, because then I think it shouldn't be needed anymore (albeit I still would prefer to give a sponsors-group the ability to modify my packages, but that's not possible easily ATM).
