Please, remove me from Trac and maintainers.txt
Hi, I received a notification for the following Trac ticket. <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4495> Apparently this request <http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/06/168338.php> got just ignored, so I'll try to be clearer: I don't want to have anything to do with Boost; can anyone put an end to this annoyance? Thanks. -- Gennaro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

That request wasn't ignored. I asked you with whom we should replace replace you as maintainer. You never responded. <http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/06/168343.php> Without a maintainer, we'll have to change dynamic_bitset's status to unmaintained.

I'll volunteer for that. -- Jeremiah Willcock

Forgive me, I just noticed that there already is another maintainer listed for dynamic_bitset. (Although it's Jeremy Siek, who himself isn't very involved in Boost anymore, sadly.) I can remove you from maintainers.txt. One of the trac admins will have to handle that side of things. Rene? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

I've switched the maintainer in Trac over to Jeremy. - Doug

It's not like I'm a maintainer just because you leave my name in maintainers.txt. It mismatches reality.

I see that there's an offer. To the voluntary, let me say that this is a very lightweight task (dynamic_bitset isn't anything like the usual Boost libraries mess, although it is still a mess by my today's standards.) Maintenance is basically for - new compilers (ouch... didn't it compile with the previous version? Aren't they using Boost for regression testing? Hmm, how many fibs...) - things like missing documentation, semantics of some functions (in case anyone notices), etc. of which I'm well aware (it's just that *when* I asked for feedback such as: "would you like the contract to be this or that?" nobody was interested. And I'm no longer, too.) In other words, I'm not handing on the hot potato (when I began, alas, it was terrible: there were functions that didn't even compile! The famous Boost review process... This mail gives a short account of the initial changes (I should say the "rewrite"): <http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2004/04/63957.php> ) As to not replying to you, Eric, I was not following the list. Back when I left Boost, I asked for someone to take over as a maintainer. There was one offer but the person just added a #ifdef to silence a VC++ warning and disappeared. -- Gennaro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
