Because public and private requests have gone unanswered for so long, it is unclear if Moritz is still maintaining the subsystem. The nearly year old xrt patchset has been pending for 6 weeks with minor changes to one patch out of 14 needing reviews. The standard release patchset, which needs an opinion has on an api change, has been outstanding for 8 weeks. If maintainership depends on an approving maintainter, what happens when the approving maintainer has left ? Tom > > thanks, > > greg k-h > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

I've talked to Moritz many times, and > all is well here. Yes. in the xrt v9 patch Moritz announced late of a vacation with a return of 9/4. It has been 11 days. I have tried to reach him privately several times of the last 2 months without a response. Publicly several folks and I have asked for a reply to move their patches along. For a low volume list, it should be possible to clear outstanding requests at least weekly. When that turns into months, that is a problem. The subsystem needs at least a submaintainer.

I think it's probably up to Moritz to discuss this possibility with Tom, but we should not be dismissing potential comaintainer roles either, the bus factor is real, and being able to take time off without things grinding to a halt is a welcome feature for everyone.

I'm not generally opposed to having another maintainer to take patches for the times I'm out or get hit by a bus. However, I don't feel like being bullied into this. Between off-list emails, attempts to go behind my back emailing people complaining about me, declaring himself maintainer and pro-claiming there's a new repo for linux-fpga over the last year and some, I've just about had enough of this sh*t. This is not how this works. There are plenty of folks around that also help out and that I'd much rather work with at this point -- if just to skip the drama. So for now NAK on this patch from my end. Cheers, Moritz ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
