[clbuild-devel] Fwd: Maintainers for Clbuild?

[Bryan Emrys]

Are there any maintainers (i.e. people with commit access) reading the list?

Hi,

(I'm recycling a blog comment on the subject here; feel free to forward
this to clbuild-devel, which I'm currently not subscribed to)

That's definitely part of its appeal.

There are several maintainers (if you count people with commit access as
maintainers), but I am not sure that they are all read the mailing list.

I would still add projects that I care about personally, and possibly
fix bugs in code I wrote, but don't have the time to review
more-than-trivial patches on the list.

Perhaps some of the committers would be willing to commit patches if you
asked them directly.

Keep in mind clbuild's history though: First there was Luke's
repository, which is history now. Then there were Christophe's
repository and my fork. Today there's the repository on common-lisp.net.

So clbuild users have dealt just fine with the fact that maintainers
have come and gone.

If some of the people with uncommitted patches are willing to make their
darcs repository publically available, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem
for them to "take over" for a while.
