#296 Request to be added to epel-packagers-sig group
Closed: Approved by carlwgeorge. Opened by xavierb.

Closed: Approved
Reopen Issue

Hi,

I've been maintaining packages in Fedora since 7 and EPEL since 5. Recently, I'm participating in the EPEL 10 bootstrap, and while this is progressing nicely, I think I may be able to help a little further if I am added to the SIG.

My FAS username is xavierb.
See https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/xavierb for an overview of what I've been involved with in all these years.

Regards,
Xavier

Here are some data points for the sponsor vote.

  • Xavier has done a total of 621 EPEL updates all time, dating back to 2009.
  • Browsing through these updates, I see a wide variety of different types of packages.
  • Xavier is also a member of the Multimedia and Perl SIGs.

Looking through the epel maintainers stats that I have, Xavier has indeed been doing epel packages going back to epel5. Although he's never been in the top 10, he has been consistent through all those years.

Note, I am no longer in the group, thus I cannot vote on this. I just wanted to give that information.

I'm +1 as my vote.

+1

It's been a week, and the count is three positive votes and zero negative votes. Therefore this is approved and I've added you to the group.
