I would like to have games-engines/love, if it's possible for an unofficial
developer.

[gentoo-dev] Too many proxied maintainers who retire after first contribution. (was: Packages up for grabs: games-engines/love)

The proxied maintainer fixed exactly one bug while he was proxied
maintainer.
This happens too often.
Some retire are one, others after very few contributions.

Please advertise that you do not need to be maintainer to create a pull
request. You should only be maintainer, if you are willing to monitor
the bug tracker and take care of the packages in the long term.

In the past we gave too often the impression "if you want this bug
fixed, become a proxied maintainer"

Our bugzilla does not help here (https://bugs.gentoo.org/719720)
"No maintainer - Look at
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers if you want to
take care of it"

While this is not totally wrong, it seems that we mislead the volunteers
here. Perhaps some read "it" as the bug, while we mean "care for all
bugs and keep the package up to date over the next years"

Yes, you can fix the tickets and prepare PR's via github.
Add a link to the bug as described in
https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0066.html
After several contributions you probably decide that you want to take
care of all future bugs of this package and want to be the (proxied)
maintainer.
