I'll check smf package today. It seems I skip your post,
About #Maintainer and license - I add them but it will take some time...
Just so you know I didn't go through these by hand, it took all of 5 minutes to get a list of them and run grep.
I have suggested your removal because you aren't voting and this is exactly what the bylaws states must be done in a case like this, if you were unable to vote you must mark yourself as inactive. The fact is I doubt you're bad at packaging but I don't think it's possible to maintain 600 packages.
I think what would be best, especially if you're going to be inactive, is to orphan some of your packages, as many as possible so we can make this manageable. The voting is negligible and I don't see why we can't work something out but this huge amount of packages you maintain is the real issue.
I think the main concern here is because we already had a situation with lots of packages being managed by WillySilly and his disappearance. I didn't review sergej's packages, but I'm satisfied with the speed he updates and fixes bugs reported in them. I do agree that license information is very important for community and no illegal packages should be there. Neverthless none of these issues worth starting a discussion period IMO, because they all can be resolved by a communication. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
