https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers

I'm starting the non-responsive package maintainer policy because nor the first point of contact tnorth, nor the co-maintainers sdz and mattdm seems to respond to opened bugs from many months.
This is the list of bugs that are still opened:
bug #1248756
bug #1307984
bug #1312508
bug #1323304
bug #1358233

Apologies, but I'm afraid I've not been involved in Fedora for a while now. I'm only a co-maintainer here, but if you're interested in stepping in to help with this I'd be happy to make the change in PkgDB. Let me know!

Yes, I recently started using rawtherapee and I would like to help fixing actual bugs and upgrading it to the new version.

I would also hear something from the main point of contact tnorth, since he's not responding to bugs from many years to now. I want to proceed with the non-responsive policy, because if he's not willing to maintain this package anymore, it should be orphaned, so someone (could be me or someone else) can become the point of contact.

Meanwhile, I've already requested to be a co-maintainer in pkgdb, so if you can give me the rights I will try to work on the package as soon as I have some spare time.

Thanks.

That's absolutely fair and makes sense.

Oh, I must have missed that email go by. All approved now! Thank you for helping out with this.

I've tried to contact the maintainer directly by email, but no I've received no response.

Pong!
Sorry for my silence. I lost interest in Rawtherapee since Darktable is around.
I will check these bugs and see if I can update the package.
I can give you the accesses you need or transfer ownership.

Thanks!

Comment 7 Mattia Verga 2016-10-29 12:10:17 UTC
Hi,
thanks for your reply. I've already updated the package in rawhide.
If you don't want to maintain Rawtherapee anymore I can take the ownership, if you want. Just orphan the package and I will take it (if anyone of the other co-maintainers don't want to take it).

Thanks.

Comment 8 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-10-29 12:14:07 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 9 Thibault North 2016-10-29 12:18:46 UTC
Ok, thanks for your work (I just saw your update)!
I orphaned it, you're welcome to take it. Other maintainers are in CC of this bug, in case they are interested!
