Description Stephan Hartmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2023-02-22 08:51:40 UTC 
orbea is listed as proxy-maintainer in several packages in ::gentoo. According to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/Policies_and_Guidelines proxy-maintainers need to be listed in metadata.xml with their real name and also sign-off with real names. A quick grep revealed at least following packages:

app-admin/tpm
app-misc/rover
dev-util/maxcso
dev-util/rgbds
dev-util/samurai
games-emulation/bsnes-jg
games-emulation/cega-jg
games-emulation/gambatte-jg
games-emulation/jgemu
games-emulation/jgrf
games-emulation/jollycv-jg
games-emulation/mednafen-jg
games-emulation/melonds-jg
games-emulation/mgba-jg
games-emulation/nestopia-jg
games-emulation/prosystem-jg
games-emulation/sameboy-jg
games-emulation/sameboy-jg
games-emulation/vecx-jg
media-libs/jg

(Not sure who is the correct assignee here)

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-02-22 09:23:13 UTC 
I discussed this with mgorny and I'm happy to just proxy him directly. It's not a GLEP 76 violation, it's a proxy-maint policy violation.

I'll make that change now.

It's not a GLEP 76 violation because as discussed many times in the past, it's fine as long as the committer is willing to take responsibility for the contents. I usually drop orbea's signoff.
