Yo,
I'm resigning as a package maintainer and developer of Arch Linux.
It's been almost a decade since I met Jelle, Chris, Levente and Remi at 33C3 to<br>be (peacefully) coerced into joining the security team, and almost 9 years since<br>I became a package maintainer.
It's time to let go.
I've sent an internal email about misc responsebilities people are free to taken<br>over, but for the benefit of the list I'll point out that mkinitcpio and<br>arch-install-scripts is currently left without an active maintainer.
Thanks to all the friends I made along the way.
# Orphaned packages
Below is a list of packages that have me as the sole maintainer. I think the<br>following packages should be adopted by someone. Rest can be cleaned up at some<br>other point. Note that I have not checked dependant packages.
- fsverity-utils<br>- flatpak-xdg-utils<br>- pesign<br>- libmakepkg-dropins<br>- wpa_supplicant<br>- all tpm2 packages
