  • Make =?utf-8?B?cHlwaTJkZWLigJlz?= maintainer the DPT team

    From Agathe Porte@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 2 18:00:02 2024
    Hello,

    I am an user of the pypi2deb project [1] and contributed to it multiple
    times [2]. 4 months ago, its last uploader resigned [3], leaving the
    non-DPT maintainer in charge and a list of open PRs, some of them
    waiting since a year [4].

    It seems that because this project is not team maintained I am unable to
    merge some of the sensible merge requests because I have no rights on
    this repository. There are only 4 people that can touch this
    repository [5].

    Are we OK as a team, with such a critical tool, used to package new
    Python packages, to be left in a such shape?

    I think that a good way to revive this package is to make its
    Maintainer the DPT so that we can collaborate on it again (and
    update the Gitlab rights to be able to do so).

    Or maybe I should apply the pull requests manually in my git tree
    and NMU? But the original tree will be lagging.

    Thanks for your advice.

    Hi,

    Thanks for bringing up this topic. #1064952 is something that goes well with this discussion. I myself am an active user of pypi2deb and also have a pending MR, and I'd love to see the package getting more attention. I am also very much willing to
    contribute to improve the tooling. It makes perfect sense that a tool in wide use such as this is maintained under the team umbrella. Of course, that is only if the current maintainer, piotr, is also in agreement.

    Best,
    Ananthu
