Core(-ish) components that need new maintainers

[hadess (Bastien Nocera)]

Those core(-ish) components need maintainers:

• libgudev
• libgnome-volume-control
• gnome-user-share
• geocode-glib

As I don’t have the cycles to work on them. For all those, I’m the only named, or active, maintainer.

I realise now that I made a similar post in September last year:

Maintainership of a number of modules

Hello, I’ve posted about work assignment changes here: I’m afraid that this will have an impact on my ability to contribute to GNOME, and GNOME-related projects, at least in the short-term, until I’m told what my new responsibilities will be, and how they will overlap with my old ones. I’ve recently updated libgnome-volume-control, libgudev has had a recent release, and I will make a new stable release of gnome-bluetooth today. Let me know if there are any other questions. Cheers

I will most likely need to archive the items if no one steps up as I don’t want bug reporters and users to be under the impression that I am maintaining those modules.

I can take libgudev, looks like low-enough effort. Preferably co-maintaining it, never maintained a gnome-related module before. Just shout at me when something aside from issues/merge requests needs doing

I’m willing to take on gnome-user-share given how small the project is and its relation with Nautilus, which I actively contribute to. My foundation ID is kas.

Hello again,

Giving it one more week before I request libgnome-volume-control and geocode-glib to be archived.

Cheers

Thank you

Looks like I was already marked as simply an “author” in geocode-glib.

I hope Jonas is still around to maintain it, otherwise we might be looking for it to break quite a few packages, including some core GNOME ones:
