Packages, which need a new maintainer (orphaned packages). A
package may need to be dropped from the distribution when it
contains security vulnerabilities, gets out-of-date too much
and/or becomes incompatible with build dependencies.
And it seems to me that JOnAS and its dependencies fit into this
category, having been dropped mainly because of dbuild dependency
issues. I doubt very much that any of these packages can reasonably
be described as "new submissions" -- if build problems hadn't cropped
up they would have been in FC5.
Hmm... This looks like it may contradict the post that I quoted earlier
from spot. I suspect this predates spot's post and should be removed or
rephrased on the wiki. Do you want to jump in and clarify things, spot?
But on the other hand, they never made it into FC5.
I don't mind, really, as long as the work involved in pushing these 30
packages into extras isn't great.
Depends on what the packages look like and who shows up to review. It's
peer review on a package by package basis with the guidelines posted on
the wiki as the basic requirements that need to be met.
