Yo,
I'm resigning as a package maintainer and developer of Arch Linux.
It's been almost a decade since I met Jelle, Chris, Levente and Remi at 33C3 to be (peacefully) coerced into joining the security team, and almost 9 years since I became a package maintainer.
It's time to let go.
Hi Morten, Thanks a lot for all the dedicated work you've done through the years for Arch Linux and for your support / help regarding some of the stuff I picked up along the way! I sincerely appreciated it and I wish all the best for your future endeavors (and everything else as well).
I've sent an internal email about misc responsebilities people are free to taken over, but for the benefit of the list I'll point out that mkinitcpio and arch-install-scripts is currently left without an active maintainer.
Thanks to all the friends I made along the way.
It's difficult for me to commit right now, but I'll try to check if I can provide some help regarding those.
# Orphaned packages
Below is a list of packages that have me as the sole maintainer. I think the following packages should be adopted by someone. Rest can be cleaned up at some other point. Note that I have not checked dependant packages.
- fsverity-utils - flatpak-xdg-utils - pesign - libmakepkg-dropins - wpa_supplicant - all tpm2 packages

I've picked some packages of the above list that I'm actively using (or that other stuff I maintain depend on), as well as some extra packages that aren't part of the above list but that Morten was actively maintaining and that I'm also actively using myself. - archlinux-repro - borg - catatonit - conmon - containers-common - fuse-overlayfs - lxc - lxcfs - nvme-cli - plocate - podman - runc - sbctl -- Regards, Robin Candau / Antiz
