Subject: Introducing status field to MAINTAINERS?
Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2023 15:10:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230703151057.303bb87a@hermes.local> (raw)
While going through the old patches, noticed some that are in parts
of DPDK that are pretty much abandoned.
My suggestion would be introduce a subsystem status field in MAINTAINERS
similar to what is done in Linux kernel.
S: *Status*, one of the following:
Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this.
Maintained: Someone actually looks after it.
Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do
much other than throw the odd patch in. See below..
Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
role as you write your new code].
Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
it has been replaced by a better system and you
should be using that.
