Replying to [ticket:1266 toshio]:

==== Invalid email addresses ====

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Nonresponsive_maintainers_policy#Notes_for_invalid_email_addresses

This addition allows us to start the Unresponsive maintainer process at Step 4 when we know that the maintainer's email address is no longer valid.

OK; why does this start with "file a FESCo ticket" in addition? Shouldn't we just skip steps 1–3 and otherwise use exactly the same process? (In particular, giving the maintainer a chance to speak up before assuming action will need to be taken.)

==== Orphaning Process ====

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Nonresponsive_maintainers_policy#Orphaning_Process

The steps in "outline" end with only reassigning a single package; if the intent of this proposal is to in fact orphan all packages at the end of the ordinary process, that's much more than just documenting the current policy, and should be integrated with the steps in the outline.

Agreed on today's FESCo meeting: Changes as made on Toshios' page approved (+6)
abadger1999 will update the nonresponsive maintainer policy page.

Policy page updated.

I noticed when applying the change that I had forgotten to fill in the period that an email address needed to be bouncing before we considered the email address invalid. Nirik and I decided 7 days would be a suitable value so I wrote that in:

1. Email to the address bounces (to differentiate from temporary bounces like mailbox full, this should go on for a period of 7 days)

If anyone objects to that period of time, please reopen and put this ticket back on the Meeting agenda.
