= phenomenon = The maintainer of i7z is nonresponsive. I asked several times for response without succes, in a FTBFS bug¹ depending on other requests, as well per devel mailing list ². There's 1 open abrt bug³. Last real commit is 2013-08-06, afterwards mass rebuilds happens only. Last build is 2013-08-06 17:36:16 for f20, besides 2015-01-13 07:43:58 for epel7 with failure.

Just to be clear, there is actually no requirement at all that anyone be active on IRC. ;)
That said, they do appear inactive and so if they don't respond by the next fesco meeting, I would be +1 to orphan their packages.
(Note that the updated rules entries above are a false positive, we were updating everyone's filters then for some new rules and the script that does so incorrectly appears to be the user instead of an automated process. This is being fixed).

I know. But I want to provide all information that I could get so far. Guidelines say to try everything possible to reach the maintainer, before filing a FeSCo ticket. I try to do possible prework for you. ;)
Their? Which packages else than i7z only? Please notice that the active user script gave activities in nearest past about other things done for Fedora community.
I do not understand what that means.

This mean that the fedora_active_user.py output lines you pasted which contains "fantom updated the rules on a fmn" for date 2016-02-18 are false positive. They mean the user has not actually updated the filters but some script has updated every FAS user's filters on that day. So we should not count that fantom user was active recently.
Well, I heard from Matthieu 2 weeks ago on #fedora-devel-fr. I'll try to ping him afk. +1 to switch PoC for i7z and 7kaa to raphgro right now, but orphaning all of his packages seems a bit extreme for now.
Replying to [comment:6 hguemar]:
i7z: I can do an hotfix to close still open bugs, after the package got properly orphaned. There's an user waiting in the main bug. But I do not have interest to keep that package as maintainer after bugs got fixed.
7kaa: There was a pong in one bug from the maintainer and he promised to fix soonish (next week lately). I'm already co-maintainer for this package.
Dear Maintainers, Fedora Developpers.
I'm sorry to informe you that I have no time anymore to take care of my packages for the Fedora Projet. I orphan i7z following the process, and I will find a solution for my other packages.
Fedora was for me a great experience and I wish come back when I will have more time.
Best regards

Hi, thanks for your feedback. It's always sad to see maintainers as leaving.
As promised, I'll do at least the hotfix to close all open bugs for the i7z package. This ticket can be closed, please feel free to reopen if there's still an issue.
