Closed: Keep packager status
Reopen Issue

Hello @mmckinst,

during our periodic check as per the "Inactive packagers policy"
we detected no activity from you as a packager, nor in
other Fedora community places, like Bodhi or mailing lists.

In order to reduce security risks from possible accounts hijacking
we're trying to contact you to know if you're still reachable and
if your email set in Fedora Account System (mmckinst@umich.edu) is still valid.

Please, let us know if you're still intersted in participating
in Fedora and if you still need your account to be listed in the packager group.

Without any reply from you, in two months we will proceed to remove
your account from the packager group. Your account will still be active.

My inactivity isn't because of lack of interest. My employer restricts my ability to make contributions to open source projects.

I have added package maintainers to some of the packages I have like mytop that have volunteered. If others want to be added as maintainers I can add them.

I'm working through the process with my employer to maintain packages but have no ETA.

Understood. I'll keep you in the packager group. I hope you can convince your employer. If I can help with that, please feel free to email me directly.

I'd like to be a maintainer for vile (and have an open pull request for updating it).

Thomas,

I added you as an admin to vile. I didn't realize you were a Fedora package maintainer before. Sorry for letting vile get out of date.

Mark

I started doing this early this year, to rescue vttest and luit, and seeing that vile was out of date, wanted to address that too (thanks).
