Hi,
I'm looking for new maintainers for these two packages:
devel:libraries:c_c++/libgsasl This is the GNU SASL library. It's used by a few packages, is alive upstream with a nice maintainer. I only touched this package because another packages I was working on was using it, and inherited from maintenance this way. But I really don't look at it, so I feel it could do with more love.
hardware/festival This is a speech synthesis system. I'm not quite sure how much it's still used; it used to be a dependency for GNOME accessibility (which is why I somehow became maintainer, I guess), but it's not used there anymore.
I'm happy to give magical powers to anyone willing to take over those packages :-)
Cheers,
Vincent

I will take care of this one, plz add me as maintainer.

Done.
I can't change the bugowner for openSUSE:11.4/libgsasl and openSUSE:12.2/libgsasl, though. Not sure what's the process for this.
Does anyone know?

You can not.
Just leave them as-is, rule of thumb is to use "factory maintainer" and fallback to the old distributions maintainer relations only when the package is not in factory anymore.

But if we drop the package from Factory, the outdated information for openSUSE:xx.y would be wrong, since the maintainer changed. So I believe we want to be able to change that information.

Well, we are creative in finding the maintainer and in 30-50% of the cases I have to look at .changes anyway, as bugowner or maintainer attributes are inactive or not set.
It is a problem, but I think its minor.

You can do that via a request:
osc requestmaintainership -r bugowner PROJECT PACKAGE USER

The delete request got rejected because festival is needed by festival-spanish-voices and kdeaccessibility3.
I'm cc'ing the maintainers of those two packages. Please either adopt festival, or drop those packages.

I was actually following this and waiting for festival to be definitively dropped. SR#142126.
Just out of curiosity, what implications does this have for the accessibility of openSUSE?

I can only tell about accessibility under GNOME, where this will have no effect since espeak has been replacing festival for some time there.

Ilya, ping: kdeaccessibility3 is blocking here. Can you either drop it, make it not use festival, or become the new festival maintainer?

I'm happy to revoke that, though, if you tell me which way you want to move forward for festival.

Festival works well here for voice synthesis (including Russian voices) under KDE3. I was planning to package Russian voices for it developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences and packaged by Alt Linux.
I know no other voice synthesis software capable of Russian sppech under Linux. Is there a real need to drop it?

Ilya,
Per the email thread, festival is being dropped only because the current maintainer is no longer willing to maintain it. If you don't want it dropped you either need to become the new maintainer or find someone else that is willing to be the new maintainer.

I do not read this list on a regular basis. If you want kdeaccessibly3 built without festival, better submit a bugreport against it.
I fail to see why you submitted a delete request instead of a bugreport.

I cc'ed you on this thread, which is why I was expecting an answer from you on how to move forward. It's kind of weird to file a bug to ask if you want to become maintainer of a package.
Now that I know what you want, I can file a bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=793370
I'm also revoking the deleterequest.
