Orphaned PEPr Proposals
The problem
It happens more or less often that
PEPr proposals get stuck in a specific proposal phase,
PEPr proposals get accepted, but no package is registered / released.
The solution
In these two cases PEAR QA should step in and try to get in touch with the specific proposers. If the proposer is no more interessted in the proposal, PEAR QA should search for a new maintainer for the package or the proposal should be deleted.
For these steps the following time frames are proposed:
For proposals in stages "draft" and "proposal"
PEAR QA posts a reminder comment to the proposal after 1 week of inactivity.
If the proposer does not react within 2 weeks, the proposal gets deleted.
For proposals in stage "finished"
PEAR QA tries to contact the maintainer 4 weeks after the proposal is finished and no release has been throwen.
If the maintainer can not be contacted within 4 weeks, PEAR QA starts searching for a new maintainer.
If no new maintainer is found within 4 weeks, the proposal gets marked as orphan.
Orphan marker
Finished proposals should not be deleted, but marked as orphan. This marker should have the following content:
To the name of the proposal the following tag will be added: [QA-ORPHAN].
To the describtion of the proposal the following text will be added at the top: "This proposal has been marked orphan by PEAR-QA on <DATE> because of the inactivity of the proposer. This means, that the proposal is invalid from this date on. If you have a similar proposal or want to re-activate this proposal, feel free to create a new PEPr proposal for it.".
