No, you're misunderstanding. Rather than a single POC, there are multiple contacts inside SGI, devoted to XFS. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

FWIW, both Christoph and I are on that xfs-masters email list - it's not actually a "sgi" point of contact at all...

In many cases we've had tons of stuff to maintainers simply go missing because people left, Having it go to internal groups makes a lot more sense if that is what people want. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Show me a single person still at SGI when Lachlan finally goes that had a single commit to XFS in the last two years, or for that matter did any community bug triage. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
