#7970 — packages without any uploaders

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-cherrypy

This package, python-cherrpy, is Maintainer: DPMT, but has nobody listed
in Uploaders.

This is a serious policy violation[1].

Even without considering that, shall we continue to carry the team name
and keep the package in our git repository namespace, or shall we move
it out?

We can orphan it officially, for example.


I'm CCing the former maintainer, since I don't know if he follows this
list.

Though there are people who argued that the whole point of team
maintenance is you don't need to feel bound to a package.  Anyway, this
lead to a package rejection back this summer for some package of the X
team, where there are a lot of packages with this "issue" (even if
actively maintained).

if nobody is interested in adopting it, package will be orphaned.
(why wasn't the DPMT replaced with QA when Uploaders was removed in the
first place?!)

dunno, I just noticed it while doing my shift for removing pysupport.

If you guys tell me so I'm happy to send an O bug, move the repo to
collab-maint and doing a QA upload orphanizing it.

If neither Gustavo nor you were interested in CherryPy, I would
consider putting my name in the Uploaders field. I would
probably upgrade the package to version 3.8.1 and add a Python 3
package - we still ship seven year old 2.3.0 and only Python 2.

Cheers

I just checked again and realised that there is a cherrypy3
package which is not outdated at all and well-maintained by
Gustavo. But it also lacks the Uploaders name. Easy to fix :~)

Sorry for the noise!
