All, the graphics project has now been disbanded.

All packages have been reassigned to maintainer-needed. Bugs will be
reassigned soon.

Here are a list of the packages that are now up for grabs:

I have seen that many of them already have maintainers or co-maintainers, maybe
listing only those that are going to maintainer-needed would be more useful to
catch packages needing attention

Thanks

Pacho, thanks. I did not remove those packages from the email, but the
metadata still reflects properly. A cursory look at the packages with
more than 1 maintainer seems rather small.

To expound on this, the graphics project has a quite a few bugs assigned
to them (169). A few packages have co-maintainers, but these are still
reflected in the metadata as required.

If anyone else has time to address the bugs or wants to take the package
over please do.

If you hit a package with a co-maintainer then my apologies.

It seems like a lot of the packages listed here should be and are
very popular :O

OK so if you really want to go through with this then I'll take these.

That said, I think the basic action is in this case pretty unproductive. We
now have a large number of central libraries maintainer-needed (libpng, jpeg,
tiff, ...) which would really merit a team...

Seems like one or two devs have been bumping the packages you listed
for the last couple of years, and neither of them are actually members
of the graphics project.

I don't see the value in a project where none of the members actually
maintain their packages.

Indeed, thanks a lot.
I should have anticipated that there would be further discussion on this, before
prematurely asking simple question >.<
Nonetheless, an interesting situation. I never knew too much about projects.

There have been upgrades of all these in recent months :
dates when I upgraded on my desktop system are added (the last yesterday).
Surely, that means someone is maintaining them.
Perhaps the culprits could own up (smile).

As a long-time user, I find it disturbing
that a huge list of packages should suddenly be declared unmaintained,
esp as some of them -- eg above -- are likely needed by most users.

Basically all of these get done by us in security@ because they tend to have vulnerabilities and they are core packages.

Maybe. If nobody else does, I will, but it’s easier if someone with +w does for now.

They’re declared to not have a named maintainer — I promise you, they are not going anywhere,
even though this appears concerning. With graphics@, it was an “open secret” that they were
unmaintained, now it’s clear that anyone is welcome to help.

I hope this helps reassure you a bit — the gist is, they’re not going anywhere, and
nobody would let these packages leave the tree.

This is essentially just making the formalities reflect reality — to be clear we’re welcome
to touch these packages and help.

They were not maintained by identified developers before - that is the
point. The only thing that is changing is that metadata is being
updated to reflect reality. Now these packages will get more notice
and developers can set up and maintain them as needed.

The packages aren't being removed - just the project.

If any of the packages assigned to the graphics projects already had
individual maintainers then those would still remain after the project
is removed.

Put it this way - suppose we created a project called "dummy" with no
developers in it, and we assigned that project to all the packages
that are maintaner-needed. Would that actually change anything? XML
tags in metadata files don't maintain packages - people do.

This sort of thing has happened many times in the past. Sometimes it
does result in packages getting treecleaned, but mainly when they have
other serious issues. Popular packages aren't likely to get removed
this way - certainly not something like libjpeg or imagemagick and so
on.

Maybe it'd make sense to create a new project that is focused
on maintaining core libraries for gfx/audio/video formats (technical
name: codec project)? Right now, sound and video teams are also
suffering from similar problems. On one hand, it makes little sense to
create huge projects that maintain every single kind of gfx/sound/video-
related tool ever made, on the other it doesn't exactly make sense to
require every single core library to have an individual maintainer.

Just for the record, media-libs/libpng belongs to base-system team for
years. I do not even remember it ever belonged to graphics team.
So it's obviously not up for grabs :)
