Those bugmails constitute spam for my mailbox. The bugs you open generate too much information? So basically you do too much work to still cope with the consequences of that very same work? Maybe you can get a dev to act as your secretary? (I am being serious.) This matter appears to be entirely unrelated to the original thread, too. > It would be cool to implement a keywording@gentoo.org alias just to > assign those bugs to so that we maintainers do not need to see them. So this way you would avoid receiving important information? Why don't you set up bugsy not to inform you about these under [Email Preferences]? Whether it is wise to do this, is a different matter altogether. > In my opinion the last architecture should also remove the old ebuild > they have just made obsolete by stabling/keywording the new version, > since they commit to the directory anyway. Some more policy would be need on this second matter entirely unrelated to the original thread. The last arch dev keywording a package should then check as well whether the package: 1) is SLOTted. 2) has a history of having users choose specific versions (mask newer versions, basically) based on their own needs. If a package is not SLOTted, it is still not clear whether 2) is the case, so IMHO only the package maintainer should ever (yet diligently) clean up so-called "old" ebuilds.
