#12546 dm-zoned-tools & zonefs-tools: I am not inactive...
Closed: Will Not/Can Not fix by james. Opened by damien-lemoal.

Issue #12513 marked the packages dm-zoned-tools and zonefs-tools as orphaned, with the explanation: These users have been identified as inactive during the F42 development cycle, therefore they should be removed from the packagers group and their packages orphaned.

I am not inactive and keep testing & monitoring these packages. However, since the code for these packages is very stable and does not need updates (unless a bug is found), I am indeed not modifying much to them. But these packages are NOT orphaned, I am still maintaining these and their kernel side code too.

Please restore me as the main maintainer of these packages and do not orphan them. Thank you.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

As soon as possible.



Forgot to add libzbd as well to the list of impacted packages. Similar to dm-zoned-tools and zonefs-tools, this is a stable code base that does not need frequent changes/maintenance. Hence the lack of activity for it, but it is used in production as a dependency for other projects. It must not be orphaned/retired.

This was the easy path: https://pagure.io/find-inactive-packagers/issue/2181

We are now on the slightly more difficult path: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_inactive_packagers/#returning
