<p>These are the time periods that apply to maintainer and committer
|
|
responses to issues brought to their attention via email.</p>

|
|
<h3>Problem Report (PR) Timeouts</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The time limit for a maintainer to respond to a PR is two weeks.
|
|
After that period, if it is a minor change, any ports committer can
|
|
commit the change. If it is a major change (e.g. would require a
|
|
regression run), please contact portmgr first.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We have an add-on to the GNATS database known as the auto-assigner,
|
|
which attempts to automatically notify maintainers of PRs; however,
|
|
it depends on the Synopsis containing category/portname. In general,
|
|
various people attempt to catch and fix cases where it does not work,
|
|
but you should not assume so. Therefore, please
|
|
check to see whether or not the maintainer knows about the PR before
|
|
declaring a timeout. You can generally tell this from the Audit-Trail
|
|
and Cc: lines in the PR.</p>

|
<h3>Maintainer Reset</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A maintainer who does not respond to any port issues for 3 months may
|
|
be reset by any ports committer. If you are
|
|
a committer and concerned about whether you are doing the right
|
|
thing, please contact portmgr.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This period may be shortened by portmgr if the email address returns
|
|
with a hard bounce. In this case, it is probably desirable to reset
|
|
all the maintainer's ports and change any PRs set to 'feedback' back
|
|
to 'open'.</p>

|

<h3>Commit Privileges</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Ports committers who are not active for one year will lose commit
|
|
privileges. portmgr will contact the
|
|
committer by email before invoking this limit.</p>
