we have already a "drivers:wlan" project, how about to join there ?
Project owners are CC'd.
Sorry guys. I'm not using SUSE anymore. :(
You can handle ownership to someone else.
k, I suggest to drop drivers:wlan and to create drivers:wireless for Helmut in that case. Helmut, please tell me your account name in PM. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

First of all, I am not sure that Helmut wanted to fix these at all. Another problem here is that I currently consider exchanging the people with write permission as evil. Because users may have decided to trust the current people, but they do not know about Helmut yet. And we have no way to notify them. Therefore changing the repo URL is the safer way in my opinion. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

No, I won't fix these drivers :) And "ipw2200" for example is in the kernel anyway since some time and therefore unnecessary in 10.2 and 10.3.

it is not about join, if someone trust Helmut only to add proper people this is fine. But removing the responsible poeple and replace them by complete others is something different. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Fixing: Filing patch merge requests as soon it's implemented. But this seems to be about "taking maintainership" which is another story.

Because users may have decided to trust the current people, but they do not know about Helmut yet. And we have no way to notify them. Write permission may only be given by the current maintainers of the project to others. So the trust is given to the new maintainer by the person that is already trusted. I think that's ok.
OTOH I agree with Adrian that we must not simply switch maintainer through admin power.
Therefore changing the repo URL is the safer way in my opinion.
Yes, but that's also ugly. Having just thought about the /requests/ API path we could have a "This seems to be a rotten project" request that triggers $ACTION. Ideas?
