Good idea in my opinion, but in a different way - the team could maintain such a (unordered) list with varying package count size and pick the packages to put to portage tree by them out of that list as well when the manpower allows to maintain the package in question. But having a list before actually packaging them in official tree could serve as another list where other maintainers could pick them up and package them before maintainer-wanted would, skipping the otherwise supposedly short time maintainer-wanted would be maintaining it -- packages that are maintained by maintainer-wanted would have a list to pick from as well, and the interested maintainer could find it from that one too. Above when I said "maintainer-wanted" I meant the herd/team with another more suitable name then to not confuse with bugs assigned to that alias that are still not maintained by anyone in the official tree (yes, co-operation with Sunrise and the like I'd see as important). --=20 Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio@gentoo.org Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio --=-VfomKW+dYLY9sbYpii4Z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkokRyMACgkQkeYb6olFHJcnhgCgwBubfYNRjpj5q75WBCbOJFKk Rk4An0gN+A1dOB/Ego/0w6lINT+JZ6BJ =hLkT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-VfomKW+dYLY9sbYpii4Z--
