Orphaned PackagesThe ProblemSometimes a package is left without care for a long time. It becomes lonely and full of bugs. This is a very sad situation and somebody needs to step up to remedy it. What can be considered an orphaned package ?The following are considered orphaned packages:
Contact processA QA core-team member tries to contact the current maintainers and developers (cc'ing the QA list) asking about an update about their work on the package. A package lead answers:
he states that he still intends to work on the package, but is busy at that point. Either a timeframe will then be decided upon by the lead and QA during which some activity must occur (i.e. I'm going to be busy the rest of this month but I'll get back to it on the 3rd of next month) OR a second lead developer will be sought to continue development Finding a new leadA message will be sent to pear-dev asking for volunteers. Somebody steps upIf you are willing to take over a package you must notify the QA list and state who you are and why you want to take over. If the QA team feels the person who stepped up is appropriate and capable, the team will make this person a new maintainer. In case several persons step up a case by case study will be carried out to assign new maintainer-ship. Nobody wishes to take overA QA core team member will mark the package as orphaned. Orphan statusIf a package is orphaned, a warning and a call for maintainers will be displayed on the main package page. |
