One of my continuing projects is to reassign ports from inactive
maintainers,
so that committers don't have to wait for the 2 week timeout period before
committing (or so that other interested people can become the maintainers).
A couple of months ago I sent out email to over 100 maintainers who had
already had changes committed via maintainer-timeouts to ask if they were
still interested in maintaining their ports. For anyone who did not
respond,
and had neither submitted nor approved a PR in 6 months, I went ahead and
reset those ports.
If you are one of the following folks, who feel you were reset unfairly,
please contact me off-list. Thanks.
(fwiw, I am planning to start another round, with the maintainer-timeouts
that have accumulated since then.)
Finally, to reiterate, the intent is not to bother anyone who is simply
busy, but to find the ports where the maintainer has really disappeared.
