Basically, 1) we officially contact hasufell as the council 2) wait a week 3a) if he says he is coming back, then do nothing 3b) if he says he might come back or doesn't answer then maintainers can adopt a package at will, making themselves first maintainer and hasufell second. packages that are not adopted after some time can be moved to maintainer needed 3c) if he says he won't come back ever, period, full stop, then, as sad as it is, its open season I don't know how much community discussion this needs, but that's what I'm going to propose. As may be noted a few packages there are important and we don't want them left unmaintained while at the same time leaving the door open. Currently I'm baby sitting libressl and mbedtls. That sounds like a good idea to me. I think it's fair to treat something like this with same caution and gravity. It'd be hasty of us to divvy out packages at the first sign of a developer losing interest in or becoming angry with Gentoo. As you said, sometimes it gets to you. Personal lives have a way of influencing professional lives and volunteer work, and volunteer work is usually the first to suffer. I'll wait for a council decision before touching anything. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
