Or did someone volunteer off-list and now it waits for
Maintainer selection process to be defined?
I received two inquires privately and forwarded them to Richard. I
have not had time to document the community maintainer selection
process. The ultimate decision will always be on the Repo maintainer
which in this case is Richard.
The Poky thud branch is now under 'Community support' and is seeking a
maintainer to continue supporting the following repos for the thud release:
bitbake, core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs.
There will be no more point releases.
see
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Stable_Release_and_LTS#Maintainer_Procedures
to get an idea on what is expected.
The one thing we (YP) don't know is if there will be AutoBuilder
resources available. Please contact me or Richard regarding that statement.
If no one steps up by April 24th (six weeks -ish from now), Thud will be
moved to EOL status.
It was pointed out to me that there is no Maintainer
selection process or criteria defined. This will have to
be sorted out before we move forward on this transition.
