please note that than also the DDPO will stop working. This is our major information source to determine if someone is MIA -- before sending the fist mail. With only teams in the Maintainer field and no other source of information to get that information easily, the MIA team will go defunct or it will make the work by magnitues harder. And as the fallacy is keeping showing up repeatily in other answers: The perl team is extraoridnary. They are very well organized and there it works. But the mayority of teams is not the perl team. Have to go for $DAYJOB now. -- tobi
