- We will collect information about all packages in all devel projects that feed factory. We will generate a list of packages that have no maintainer, and a list of packages that need help, i.e. a package that has fewer than 5 maintainers. In addition we will list packages that have more than 5 maintainers and try to encourage maintainers from those packages (to get the number to 5) to take on packages that need help.
I guess during feature freeze it's not the best moment to start playing with maintainership rights. But there is any progress about all this "Maintainer model clean up"?
Yes, there is progress. On a large number of projects we have successfully reduced the number of project maintainers, for example in devel:languages:perl we are down to 12 project maintainers. The interface changes to hide the project maintainers for individual packages have not been implemented, but there is a bug report #791088
I am specially interested in those lists you mentioned.
I wrote a script to generate the lists and it mostly worked. The script appears to trigger a bug, filed as 791103. I also sent the script to Stephan for review and help, but obviously until 12.3 is out this will have to wait. I am hoping that after the release is done the bug preventing the script from running will get fixed and we can move forward with this. Ideally I will be able to give a lightning talk about this at oSC13 and show the statistics and report on the progress.
