Re: java-atk-wrapper maintainership



I sent a email to the previous maintainers as Bastien mentioned. After some months without answer, and after mentioning it on one of the weekly meetings of the accessibility team, I added myself as maintainer, without removing Ke Want. It is true that probably it would be good to notify desktop-devel-list too.

Best regards

Hi Bastien,

Thanks for clarifying. This seems a bit inconsistent with my experience so I guess that is why I have gotten confused. Exactly when did Alejandro email this list asking to be maintainer? I ask because this module got abandoned in 2011 and I was enquiring about this directly with the accessibility team well before anyone was maintaining this module and heard nothing about it until after the fact.[1,2]

    It's not. The correct procedure is to ask the current maintainer, and
    possibly email this list to announce the new maintainership. You
    certainly don't need to ask us. If Alejandro is OK with it, he can set
    you up with the right bugzilla rights, and you're good to go.

    Cheers
