https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201035 --- Comment #5 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> --- To support declaring the notion of multiple people (many, ideally) maintaining a port/package is over-engineering? The previous comment is talking only about goals, not implementations. We talk about improving productivity of ports/packages, updates, testing, etc, and I will grant that these things are all possible whilst having a single maintainer. I also think think everyone would agree there is something very satisfying about 'being' a maintainer that is conducive to contributing in more tangible ways. It is this that is the essence of positive 'ownership' that isn't the negative kind (territoriality) that some people get stuck on. This shared notion of maintainership shouldn't be limited to one person. And again, the claim is *not* that MAINTAINER is an exclusive lock/owner, is it that there is merit to being able to describe more than just a single maintainer, for various reasons. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
