Well, Robert Schweikert's "maintainer model clean up" http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-10/msg00282.html should help here, albeit not much has resulted from the proposal.
Well, maybe not in this case. In general we cleaned up heavily. Still I somewhat agree that it didn't help raising awareness as we hoped it would.
I actually though it was never implemented!
Anyway, we still have the problem of OBS telling somebody is a maintainer when he obviously isn't. multimedia:libs/audiofile has as *only* maintainer sbrabec. He created the package 4 years ago. Since then there have been 30 commits, and not a single one from him. namtrac sometimes has accepted requests for some of my packages too fast. I could complain about that. But then he would stop doing it, and I would start complaining because my requests to audiofile always take one month to get accepted.
The first thing is to clear the mess. Then we will be able to argue about a meaningful policy.
Can't an automatic email be sent to every single maintainer of a package in Factory? Perhaps two... But if there is no answer the user is removed from the package/project maintainer/bugowner list.
I get enough Hermes mails already, thanks. My workflow... I am regulary checking the open requests via webui, https://build.opensuse.org/home (just having it open in a Tab and reloading) I do look at the devel projects I am in and if the change is not questionable I usually just accept and forward it.
