Five of them have been orphaned by the Games Team. There was consensus to remove these packages if nobody would adopt them after three months. Three years later the status is still "orphaned" but the packages were not removed. People join a team and leave it again. I thought why not keep track of decisions from the past and act accordingly. The other idea was to scout for orphaned games which were not maintained by the team and to track their status in the BTS and eventually adopt them as a team and not as a single maintainer. > > > Besides the idea stemmed from the fact that some of those packages were orphaned > > by the Games Team and that they should have been removed already three years ago. > > > > I guess nobody so far has found the time and interest to submit RM bugs for > them. Exactly. Or they have been forgotten about it. Hence tracking (internally) ;) Regards, Markus
