Subject: [gentoo-dev] Packages masked for lack of maintainer, but metadata.xml says otherwise
X-Enigmail-Version: 1.3.4
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Dear all,
there have been a number of packages masked lately due to lack of
maintainer. However, their metadata.xml does not list
maintainer-needed@g.o which I think should be the first step in
searching for a new maintainer. (The last being mask and treecleaning.)
The problem with this is that it keeps them off the radar[1] and also
formally prevents them from getting treatment from proxy-maintainers
or sunrise projects.
Is there anything that speaks against making metadata.xml tell the
truth? At least the following packages are affected:
# Markos Chandras <hwoarang@gentoo.org> (02 Feb 2012)
# Multiple security bugs: 284356, 341085, 369137, 384243, 401993
# No maintainer. Removal in 30 days

# Has developed into an unmaintainable mess, and everyone who

# Masked for removal because of lack of maintainer.
