Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2017-08-12 06:53:52 UTC
On 2017-07-18 a mail inquiring project status was sent to project alias. I do not have any reply registered for this project.

If you have not received the mail, please contact me. If I missed your reply, then I'm sorry, please just let me know. Otherwise, please look into replying to that mail. The reply is important to determine the project status and the steps to follow.

Looking at the status of pambase and other pam maintained packages... it seems thet project is not much attended :/

I will CC robbat2 as he is the only member currently to check if he wants to keep the project or simply move the packages to maintainer-needed and pick what he wants to maintain

Ok, so here's what I propose.  Technically, I don't think there's much of a reason to have a project overseeing random PAM modules.  Therefore:

1. Send 'up for grabs' to find/encourage individual maintainers for all the packages.

2. Optionally, move the most important packages (pambase and linux-pam) to base-system.  (@base-system, what do you think?)

3. Eventually, disband the project.

Personally I have no issues with that. AFAIK they are low-maintenance so no big burden for us.

actually I do pam itself alone, and would like to go on alone as well

Ok, so as discussed I've added zlogene to pambase, removed pam-bugs@ everywhere, sent 'up for grabs' and tried my best reassigning bugs.  I've left pam-bugs@ in CC everywhere to ease tracking of reassigned bugs.

Please let me know if you want to keep pam-bugs@ alias alive for a while more, or if I should start disbanding the project's resources.

Wiki project page removed.  Will rename bugzilla alias now.
