I think we should open bugs in bugzilla
Why open new bugs? The bugs are there already (see Bugs taht are
blocking #501) and IMHO can be used for further discussions (and are the
best place for them IMHO). That's why I didn't CC people and why I said
"of course we would need to announce that in the bug reports a few days
before we actually do it". ;-) Sorry, should have clearer from the start.
for these and then follow the
standard "Non Responsive Maintainers" policy that Fedora has:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Policy/NonResponsiveMain...
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FTBFS would be the proper way here IMHO. I
tend to say "NonResponsiveMaintainers" would have to much impact.
Especially as we know that most (all) of them are in fact around and are
still maintaining other packages.
