Hi,
Recently I received a notification message that a package I was co-maintainer from had changed ownership.
I looked at aur-requests archive and saw the orphan request was filed on Sat Jan 2 09:42:38 UTC 2021.
The request was accepted on Sat Jan 2 09:42:38 UTC 2021 or within a second !
I checked https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_submission_guidelines#Requests which states
Orphan requests will be granted after two weeks if the current maintainer did not react. The immediate acceptance has made it impossible for the maintainer / co-maintainers to respond.
Is the wiki incorrect wrt policy for orphan requests ?
If so, where is the correct policy described ? Yo,
The only exception is with packages that has been flagged out-of-date for months, which was the case here if this is about openrc.
The package base has been flagged out-of-date since 2019-07-27. So with half a year with an OOD flag and no actions the orphan request gets automatically accepted.
(yes, package was openrc)
If that's the policy, then the immediate orphaning was correct.
Could TUs add this exception to the wiki ?
