I have transitioned to "away" state as I have to reclaim my time for other
uses. Here I am trying to reduce the scope of my Gentoo responsibilities to
make potential return to activity less dreadful and overwhelming.

Call for successors
===================

The following are the packages I do not currently use myself so have the least
motivation about. Dropping me from maintainers list is encouraged.

WIFI access point service:

* net-wireless/hostapd
(Co-maintained by zerochaos, still additional attention is encouraged.)

Python API for AWS:

* dev-python/s3transfer
* dev-python/boto3
* dev-python/botocore
* dev-python/guzzle_sphinx_theme

TUI XMPP clients:

* net-im/mcabber
* net-im/poezio
* net-im/profanity
* net-libs/loudmouth
* dev-libs/libstrophe
* dev-python/slixmpp


Somewhat obscure build system:

* dev-util/tup

V4L:

* media-libs/libv4l
* media-tv/v4l-utils


Call for co-maintainers or successors
=====================================

For these I have some minor use. You can expect me to have some interest revived.
Still, taking responsibility for them in my absence is highly appreciated.

GUI XMPP client:

* net-im/dino
* net-libs/libsignal-protocol-c

XMPP server software:

* net-im/spectrum2
* net-im/swift

Raspberry Pi packages:

* media-libs/raspberrypi-userland-bin
* sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware
* sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image
* sys-kernel/raspberrypi-sources

CardDAV CLI tool:

* app-misc/khard
* dev-python/ruamel-std-pathlib
* dev-python/ruamel-yaml-clib
* dev-python/ruamel-yaml

Nothing wrong with reprioritising. Better to do that, rather than burn out.

I am quite happy to help with these, as I’m an active user of most of them.

Best,
Sam

I can take boto3, botocore since they are needed for buildbot

I'm happy to take dev-python/ruamel-yaml and dev-python/ruamel-yaml-clib either
as a solo or as a comaintainer. I'll put up a PR later adding myself to the
metadata as a proxy maintainer. Feel free to keep or remove yourself
after that.

Cheers,
Zoltan

Hi,

I can add my already bumped app-misc/khard and start to co-maintain it via
p.m. project.

Zoltan, I prepared a branch with khard plus metadata.xml and would like to ask
you to merge it into your PR as you took deps of khard:

Do you mind if I join you on those? I use them a lot, and I planned to
comaintain awscli since Patrick is the only one current maintainer of
those, boto3 is vital part of it too.

I will take this as it is somewhere in the dep tree for app-admin/salt

I can co-maintain these since they are needed for app-admin/salt.

After looking over packages I maintain for packages that I no longer
need or use:

app-admin/qpage
app-text/tesseract
mail-filter/spamassassin-botnet
net-print/pkpgcounter
x11-plugins/pidgin-bot-sentry

I'll somewhat reluctantly take these as no one else has. They're
loosely related to tvheadend, which I also maintain.

Hi,

I'm stopping proxy maintenance of net-misc/youtube-viewer, as I
stopped using it due to YouTube's new requirement of having a
private developer's key for it to function.

Shared developer key is not a possibility (i.e. setting up a Gentoo key
for such packages) as YouTube rate limits the number of requests per
developer product key, and also considers them ToS violation, which potentially
leads to disabling them pretty fast. See more details on:
https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer/issues/308

I'm putting up a PR and dropping it to maintainer needed. If no one
wants to pick up the package maybe we should also consider last riting it
after some months, since YouTube API moves fast and old versions tend to
not function after some time.

Cheers,
Zoltan
