Hello,
The samba project will most likely be disbanded shortly. While
the current project members may stay as fallback maintainers,
the following packages (being part of the Samba stack) would really use
new, dedicated maintainers:
dev-libs/iniparser
net-dns/resolv_wrapper
net-fs/cifs-utils
net-fs/samba
net-fs/smbtad
net-libs/socket_wrapper
net-misc/smbc
net-nds/smbldap-tools
sys-auth/pam_smb
sys-libs/ldb
sys-libs/nss_wrapper
sys-libs/ntdb
sys-libs/talloc [#]
sys-libs/tdb [#]
sys-libs/tevent [#]
sys-libs/uid_wrapper
The three packages marked with [#] have additional out-of-samba-team
maintainer.
If you're interested in helping out, please add yourself
to metadata.xml and bugs. Please don't remove samba@ yet, we will do
that once we're ready to disband the project.

I understand disbanding projects when they're really just the old
"herd" concept, but this actually looks like a coherent set of
packages that a project should maintain. I don't see a bug about
disbanding samba. What's the rationale?

The project's developers are no longer interested in maintaining those
packages, and we're checking if people would be interested in some of
them. It's better to have a few disjoint maintainers than no
maintainers at all.

Some of those are separate, but most of those packages really need to
stay together, they all even come from the same upstream source... I
don't know if disbanding the project is a good idea for that one.
These packages at minimum all need to be maintained together:
net-fs/samba
sys-libs/talloc [#]
sys-libs/tdb [#]
sys-libs/tevent [#]
sys-libs/ldb
net-misc/smbc

What are you basing that on? I see Lars bumping
Samba/talloc/tdb/tevent consistently. (Those are the only ones I
checked)

I was talking to Lars, and he really doesn't want to work on them
anymore.
