You appear to be suggesting that I've dropped the buck :-( I had strong reservations about including certain details in my response to David. I even considered omiting certain information. However, I decided it was in this lists interest to provide as honest a response as possible. Unfortunatly, the post received the somewhat predictable comments: > So far, the response has been for several people to drop > responsibilities. In at least some of those cases an area with a small > number of maintainers went to an even smaller number of maintainers, > instead of floating back into the "global" space. How do you think > that helps anything? As I've already noted, that thread re-raised some issues of concern (one being non-responsive maintainers) and I am following them through. This takes time and a little appreciation of that would be helpful. Andrew (Again, recall that I sent out an e-mail to the global maintainers noting that GDB had certain `hot' areas.)
