Per GLEP67, only projects and people can maintain packages. Please either create a project for udev, or inline the maintainers.
I'm not interested in starting a project for udev; the udev-bugs alias is very informal; it is there just because certain people wanted to keep up with udev without spamming base-system. So, who wants to stay as a udev maintainer besides myself?
I find it rather convenient to follow the udev-bugs user on bugzilla: it's a good way of getting notified of issue that also apply to sys-apps/systemd. If the alias goes away, please make me a secondary maintainer. I would also not mind if we just folded udev into the systemd project.
(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #2) > > I would also not mind if we just folded udev into the systemd project. Sorry but I think this is not a good idea. Considering that systemd project/maintainers are all happy with their funky shiny systemd toy, I am afraid that standalone udev would be degraded to a second-class package by that decision. So +1 for a udev project from my side.
+1 for udev project I am currently not maintaining it actively, but still following.

William is the only person maintaining the udev ebuild. I try to help when I can since it is closely related to the systemd ebuild. That's unlikely to change, no matter what project this package falls under.
I've discussed this with William during the meeting, and hopefully convinced him to create a project. Basically, I think udev has enough different followers to satisfy having a separate control entity.
