There are very few left, off hand listed in order
Miroslav Å ulc (fordfrog)
Really the only one for java stuff and is short on time. Some
stuff like Tomcat PR falls back on me, as I used to maintain it.
I mentioned that to him and it fell back on me. He is also very
busy and barely has time for the packages he maintains. Which
ended up including Tomcat in my absence.
Benda XU ( heroxbd)
Likely last resort but has potential, has some interest in Java
some interaction over java-ebuilder and related. I rather not
distract him from his efforts on recruiting others. I believe
he has brought on a few other devs.
Patrick Lauer (patrick)
I did proxy for years via but it was a waste of his time
really. Likely still an option. Though that was never Java
stuff it was other, assp, firebird, etc.
Mike Frysinger (vapier)
One I trust the most, but I would never bother him with
proxying bs, total waste of his time and others.
Diego Elio Pettenò (flameeyes)
Same as mike, trusted but would never bother. I did ask for
help on a package sometime back and he was very responsive and
helpful. Not sure he is very active in Gentoo these days.
However remove me entirely. Who is there to proxy Java stuff to tree?
Trivial stuff is handled, but complex? Who is working with contributors?
How easy is it for other Java contributors to get their work into tree?
Anyone around to do such? Or any who even cares?
The problems extend far beyond myself. Java is NOT the only area, just
an example. The firebird situation is funny and also involves Github...
