As I was writing examples for requesting EPEL packages, the wording of the
Stalled EPEL Requests policy was bothering me. I have created a pull
request to clarify a stalled request.
https://pagure.io/epel/pull-request/129
It's not really a change in policy, just clarifying what I think we meant.
-* A week goes by with no response
+* A week goes by with no action
+"Action" is considered something that progresses the bug.
+"Action" can be positive or negative. Such as a response of "The code
+has not been updated for 10 years and has security issues" and then they
+close the ticket.
+"No Action" could be no response at all, or it could be a response of
+"I do not want to do epel" and then they do nothing else.
Let me know what people think.
