triggered by bug #77751: hspell lists a non-gentoo.org address for the maintainer email, the herd as maintainer-needed, and no other addresses. Is this sort of thing now ok? I don't think it's a good idea for devs to be putting stuff into the tree without taking responsibility for it. I would expect that either the herd is set appropriately (which means either the committer be a member of the herd, or the herd explicitly agree to be proxy), or the committer be listed as a maintainer email address along with whoever is being proxied. Further I believe bugs against such packages should be assigned to the @gentoo.org address (proxy maintainer if there is one, herd otherwise), and CC'ed to the proxied maintainer address. Packages affected: app-arch/rzip app-portage/getdelta app-text/hspell net-misc/vnc sys-fs/dmraidcvs All of the above list a non-gentoo.org address as mainainer, but do not have either a proper herd, or a specific gentoo.org dev listed as maintainer. -- Kevin F.
