The package
still belongs to 'orphan' and none of the package maintainers received
a
note about it.
They should eventually receive the "Orphaned packages looking for new
maintainers" email where they are bcced.
However, gmail has a tendency to merge that email with the list email
and that usually makes such email avoid the inbox :(
Hi everyone,
I don't use Gmail, but I've heard about this problem before, so it'd be
good to try and workaround it. Would it be helpful if I sent a separate
email that only had the affected maintainers BCCed and sent another one
to the mailing list, so they're technically two separate emails and
don't get merged by Gmail? The first one would still have Reply-to set
to the mailing list, but replies might not get threaded properly since
the first message was not also sent to the mailing list, but that trade
off might be worth it.
Another idea is to write a script to send individual emails to each
affected maintainer or SIG using the data at
https://a.gtmx.me/orphans/orphans.json that says something along the
lines of "Automation has determined that you co-maintain the following
orphaned packages or that another package you maintain depends on them.
<List of packages>. See <link to orphans report> report more
information." That would be a project for less-busy Future Maxwell, but
I think it could provide value.
Best,
Maxwell
