So you are looking to remove these things from the base-system herd or
new people to join the herd?

Petteri

<herd> will remain, i'm looking to fill <maintainer>

to fill <maintainer>, you need not be part of the base-system herd in
the "watch over it all" position

I know it very well (patches are mine) so I can maintain it.

Happy Easter to .* :)

I can probably pick these up if nobody else wants them.

And this, but a bit less interested...

I can take syslinux, at least short term; I've hacked at it for years.

I'm one of the folks on the base-system alias already, but here's the
key stuff that I interact with, and some other related notes.

Put me down for the following:
> sys-process/supervise-scripts
> sys-apps/smartmontools
> sys-apps/sg3_utils
> sys-apps/dmidecode
> sys-apps/ethtool
> sys-apps/microcode-ctl
> sys-fs/mdadm
> sys-libs/libcap

And if nobody else turns up, I'll try to take care of these ones too:
> sys-process/schedutils
> sys-process/acct
> sys-apps/irqbalance
> sys-fs/quotatool

> sys-apps/mii-diag
Can this one just go away? Is there anything that it does that ethtool
doesn't do?

> sys-apps/sysutils
Has collision on /usr/$libdir/libsysfs.a with sysfsutils. Maybe see if
sysfsutils replaces it?

> sys-libs/nss-db
My name should be on this one already.

I can take these since I already do fb-related stuff.

Best regards.

Maybe I will take it over, then decide it's obsolete and send out a
removal notice. =)

Please keep it around. embedded users used to find it a handy pkg.
initramfs seems to be be winning users over however these days.
It (mkinitrd) only ever had 12 bugs ever, 2 of which are currently open
and one of those has an attached patch. In reality it should be fairly
trivial to maintain.
