The only project member is vapier who hasn't been seen or heard of since May. There are 39 bugs assigned to sandbox@ currently. Only recently we've had a major problem getting path length fix to it. Considering that the sandbox is a crucial component of Portage ecosystem which needs an active maintainer, and the Sandbox project simply doesn't work, I think we should disband it and look for new maintainers. I'm certainly interested in helping out, especially given the recent problems caused by Sandbox. I think Portage team might also want to become a co-maintainer on this package. Ok, after talking to #gentoo-portage, I'm going to join the project and try to revive it a bit. |
