Hello, everyone.

The net-mail project is being disbanded.  As a result, the following 142
packages are up for grabs.  Please note that many of them will probably
be taken by the past project members, so there's no need to panic.

I can take OpenDKIM if no former team member wants to.

I will gladly take these. Postfix is highly important for me, and the
Postfix log summary seems like a natural addition.

Please have a look at bug #629914 as well.  Let me know if you submit a
pull request and I will take a look.

Yeah, I've come across the key file permissions issue already. I've
added myself as Cc for the bug for now, and I'll have a closer look
over the coming days.

I have fixes for that, bug 629888, and bug 575666 in an overlay. There
are some other notes I was just in the process of making:

 * Don't generate a default config file conditionally, the package image
   should not change randomly.

 * /var/lib/opendkim should be created with keepdir.

 * I think pkg_config should put the keys in /var/lib/opendkim rather
   than /etc/opendkim, because they're data (not text configuration).

I'd be happy to work on all of that stuff either before or after you
guys take over and get settled in.

I'm unsure if anybody feels responsible for this one. Upstream is pretty
silent and made no releases since 2015.

In a modern mail system it is important to be able to sign outgoing
e-mail with DKIM as things like mailing lists may fail otherwise. So I
can take maintainership if somebody is willing to proxy for me.


> mail-mta/postfix

Some of my systems depend on this one so unless eras wants to take care
of it, I can try to do that. I doubt I'll do as good of a job as he has
done so far.

I'd appreciate you adding all improvements you already have in store.
It would be a shame to waste the work you have already done.

All of my systems, and a big part of my business, depend on Postfix. I
don't want to start a tug-of-war, but I have been building and using
Postfix for roughly ten years now. I'm *certain* I'll do a good job.

I have an interest in this one since my employer uses it.
I don't know how fast I'll work the bugs right now, but I'll take a
look. :-)

Eray, go ahead and co-maintain with me if you still want to.

Good for me xD I think I have been building and using postfix for more
than 10 years but I just don't find it so critical given my usage
(mostly receiving and sending my personal mail). I just stood up to make
sure somebody would maintain it (hence why I suuggested Eras as most of
the work on the package in the last years has been his).

I've maintainer postfix for the last several years and I will continue
maintaining it.  Anyone is more than welcome to co-maintain if they
wish.

You got it: I just pushed 17 commits, addressing ~5 open bugs. I've
added you, klondike, proxy-maint, and myself as maintainers.

There are still some easy bugs open. Your turn =)

Nice. I'm curious: what were you waiting on before?

It was pretend-maintained by net-mail, and I wasn't a member of the
project. Most of the changes were available as part of bug 629914
though, so it's not like I was keeping them secret.

Makes sense. I suppose this is exactly the reason we want to disband
these herd-projects.

That is *exactly* why in my book. While considering this topic and
Michael's work... there are approximately 15 outstanding bugs of root
privilege escalation.  Many of those packages are dormant and under the
guise of a project maintaining them.
