cleaning up the RFPs
Hi,
I previously sent the rest of this mail to debian-qa, but got no
answers. Perhaps you are the more fitting recipient, or could point me
out whom to ask.
It seems to me that the list of open RFPs needs some cleaning up. I
would like to help there, but I feel a bit unsure about doing it,
so I would like the (dis)approval by the QA-group first.
I would do the following steps (only for RFPs that are older than two
years and didn't have positive input for the last year):
- Go through each RFP and look whether the package seems to be a
usefull addition to debian, if upstream is alife etc. If I think the
package should not be packaged I will send a summary to
the submitter, the bug log and everyone who submitted something to
the bug log and announce also the future steps there.
- If I'm through with the RFPs I will send a summary mail to
debian-devel-announce which is announcing the closing of the RFPs
according to the follwing statements.
- Waiting for one month.
- Close each RFP that hasn't received a positive statment.
"positive statement" means that any person send mail to the according
bug stating that the package would be usefull for debian and says
something to my arguments against inclusion ("says something" is meant
so: it need not convince me).
Is this ok or too rude?
Cheers,
Andi
