[gentoo-dev] Pull request related to the "GLEP81 and /home" discussion

[Ralph Seichter]

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/13265

After following the recent discussion here, I ask that somebody please
decide on what to do with this PR, which I opened 2019-10-12.

Please either close the pull request, change it to fit QA needs, or
merge it as it is. Unless this is decided in a pragmatic fashion in the
coming days, I am going to step down as maintainer as well, as Michael
already did.

Personally, I found the discussion about home directories a prime
example of one of the aspects that annoys me greatly about Gentoo.
Keeping things "pure" should not stand in the way of getting things
done. I have come to prefer a private overlay, because it allows me
to avoid "defenders of the faith" to a certain degree. ;-)

You had suggested /var/lib/amavishome in that PR, three months ago.
Is there any reason why this won't work?

As far as I understand QA requirements in this matter, it should work,
which is why I suggested /var/lib/amavishome as a compromise. I have
modified the pull request accordingly. However, now that Michael stepped
down, metadata.xml lists only me as maintainer, which does not suffice.

As expected, CI checks complained about me being the sole maintainer
of acct-*/amavis. I have therefore added the Antivirus Project, which
matches mail-filter/amavisd-new.

As requested by David, I have added the proxy-maint team a week ago. Can
somebody now please merge the pull request? The CI notes are unrelated.

Thank you.
