[gentoo-dev] re-assigning SynCE bugs to me

[Iain Buchanan]

Hi hwoarang,

I noticed you've reassigned a bunch of SynCE bugs to me (which is fine,
since I guess I'm the meta...) but I was wondering if there was some
request from mescalinum, or if you're just being proactive?

I haven't heard from him for a while, so I might be without a dev to
commit any fixes I can make anyway.

thanks,

Hi Iain

mescalinum is being retired due to extensive inactivity

In that case, with no committer, it ought to be either a herd or
maintainer-needed.

Jer,

pda herd is responsible for mescalinums' app-pda/synce* packages. Take a
look on metadata.xml

thanks guys.

Or maybe I should look at that quiz again ;)  What's the required
involvement?  1 commit a month?  Would it be worthwhile or more likely
to just find another maintainer? (I notice the pda herd is quite light
on).

The general rule is that if you are more than 2 months completely
inactive, then you are subject to be retired. The process to become
a developer is documented here

You can poke pda herd, but I am not aware of their status
