- Delete all files from master branch and add README that would state that $this package is free for taking over
This is what we are currently doing for dropped packages.
- Offer these YaST modules to community at opensuse-factory
In general, yes, we can offer maintenance of some packages to community. but sometimes the drop needs to be final. Looking at those modules:
- yast2-x11
As discussed elsewhere, the package is needed (might be renamed, of course)
- yast2-irda - yast2-fingerprint-reader
In the drop requests, main reason was that: - IrDA is obsolete technology, there's no need to support that (and so no need to look for new maintainers) - there are fingerprint reader solutions for desktop environments, so again, no need for YaST module. Besides, mentioned problems of this module are based on lack of hardware support in the underlying library, so giving maintainership of yast module would not solve anything without solving such (upstream) problems.
