The script generates a list of packages, then obtains the devel projects for each package and then generates a maintainer list for each package. Therefore, the collection of the data causes API calls over http request in excess of 6000. This is rather inefficient. It should be possible to obtain the data through 1 or 2 api calls. + Discussion: + #1: Guido Berhörster (gberh) (2013-08-01 20:05:04) + See http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.devel/52116 + (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.devel/52116) for + a script that achieves the same with <projects>*2+1 queries (currently + 146*2+1=293) which should be reasonably efficient. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316218
