Hi support@mentors.debian.net,
I understand that packages must be removed from mentors, because disk
space is not infinite. I have heard from multiple people requesting
sponsorship that one of the reasons to remove packages is that no
sponsor was found within 20 weeks. However, some of the removed
packages have an open RFS with recent comments. Can you send a copy of
the automatic notification to the RFS ? Can you also check the age of
the most recent comment on the RFS before removing the package ? Also,
it would be nice that packages for which the packager does not respond
to review comments within a reasonable time are removed first, so that
packages waiting for a first review can remain at mentors for a bit
longer than 20 weeks. Of course, I understand that at some point you
must also remove packages waiting for a first review due to lack of disk
space.
Personally, I believe we shouldn't delete these packages from mentors 20
weeks later.
To archive them out of the UI is something that would make sense to me.
Curious to hear the thoughts of the current mentors.debian.net
maintainers, especially on the reasoning behind the deletion, so I can
better understand and see if I can come up with an alternative I like
more.
I'm typing this quickly, so if it comes out curt, pardon me! I mean to
also send warm regards to the hard-working people who make
mentors.debian.net go forward.
