Hello MIA Team, After some discussion on bug #784854, I'm trying to find information about maintainer "Karolina Kalic <karolina@resenje.org>", whose package "gtk3-engines-unico" was apparently orphaned incorrectly without the MIA team's consent. A critical bug (#706330) has been affecting the package since April 2013, and she haven't responded since. Looking at: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.html#mia-qa > The echelon information
available through the developers'
LDAP database, which indicates when the developer last posted
to a Debian mailing list. (This includes mails about uploads
distributed via the <debian-devel-changes@lists.debian.org> list.) Also, remember to
check whether the maintainer is marked as on vacation in the
database.Karolina Kalic is not in the LDAP database, though https://contributors.debian.org/contributor/karolina-guest%40alioth provides a bit of info. > The number of packages this maintainer is responsible for, and the condition of those packages. In particular, are there any RC bugs that have been open for ages? Furthermore, how many bugs are there in general? Another important piece of information is whether the packages have been NMUed, and if so, by whom. She is involved in the packaging of 4 packages, 2 of which have been taken over and 3 with RC bugs. https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Karolina%20Kalic%20%3Ckarolina@resenje.org%3E&comaint=yes > Is there any activity of the maintainer outside of Debian? For example, they might have posted something recently to non-Debian mailing lists or news groups. A quick Google search for "karolina@resenje.org" finds some things about PGP keys and the Debian packages she's been involved in, but all of these seem to be from 2011-2012. Searching the name is really ambiguous, giving various results for different packages on various distributions. I did find this forum post from Linux Mint though, discussing how Unico was abandoned in Debian... The latest post by date I found at a strange looking Debian bugs mirror, but that just duplicates what was in the bug tracker anyways. Best, James |
