[gentoo-kernel] Kernel project lead

[gentoo-kernel] Kernel project lead

[Daniel Drake]

Hi,

John Mylchreest has been retired due to inactivity.

If anyone has any objections to me becoming kernel project lead, please 
contact me (either onlist or off).

(and objections are totally fine in that if there is other interest in 
this position we need a more formal process anyway)

Alongside continued genpatches/gentoo-sources work, my initial goals for 
the project are:
  - Finish recruiting Mike Pagano to help with core kernel bugs and
    genpatches
  - Document the kernel security maintenance roles and restart
    recruitment efforts there
  - Revisit the idea of automated kernel compile through portage
    (combining genkernel kernel ebuilds)
  - Would also be nice to find someone to work on the eclasses and
    project page

I know I've been less active lately, but that's just temporary as I was 
on holiday and am now at home catching up after being away for a year.

Thanks to John for all of his previous hard work.

Daniel

Not ok / leave the option of keeping things as they are.

Thats the plan, default ebuild behaviour will stay the same (manual 
compile) for the forseeable future.

No objection from me, I honestly thought you were the kernel project
lead these days anyway :)

Keep up the great work,

Not at all. As Greg already pointed out, I thought *you* were the kernel lead.

Oh, yes .. we really need some more people for this. Harlan is kinda always 
busy, Sune also has lots of stuff to do.
