unison.opam "maintainer" field is a subscription-required mailinglist

Open gdt opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

We're not hearing from the person in the maintainer field on multiple relevant PRs. I've sent a query to them to see if they still want to be the opam file maintainer.

Assuming I don't hear back, does anyone want to volunteer to be the maintainer of unison.opam in the unison repo? If not I'll probably stick in some value that indicates it is not really maintained (but might still try to keep an eye on it).

Fixed via #832

Now we have a mailinglist, but it requires subscription. Overall, the situation is not ideal as the file requires an email address but there is no maintainer whose address we can put. The opam file does have a link to this repo, so it's not mysterious and hence not a big deal. I am deferring this until the dust settles on the larger opam/dune questions.
