#371 Change package owner of ddclient (as "subhodip" is nonresponsive)
Closed None Opened 13 years ago by robert.

Please change the package owner of the ddclient package soon, as "subhodip" is
unfortunately nonresponsive for ages now. He didn't also reply to my e-mails in
the past.

a) http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ddclient/ddclient.spec
-> He never performed any commit to the ddclient package as far as I can see
b) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429438
-> Was updated a long time after it should have been updated (and by somebody else than the owner)
c) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246903
-> Will be fixed soon by somebody else than the owner (working on that)
d) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506286
-> Will be fixed soon by somebody else than the owner (working on that)
e) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551906
-> Will be fixed soon by somebody else than the owner (working on that)

All the mentioned bug reports are pretty old and should have been fixed by the
package owner already in the past. Given these facts, I'm seriously questioning whether the current package owner is able to care and maintain the ddclient package at all.

Please re-assign package ownership from "subhodip" to "robert", as I'm somehow
the only caring person in the last two years. I'm already maintainer for the EPEL branches, but not for Fedora.

If he is unresponsive, you should officially start the

Since there's no urgency here, just use the regular process.
