Also my observation. And it makes sense I think. > which will also trigger that associated RFS bug > to be closed. Yes, my script does that. > I can understand the intention to not having too many > unattended RFS bugs and mentors uploaded to pile up and rot, The intention is keeping some sensible balance between RFSes with and without packages to sponsor. An RFS is a request for sponsoring a package. The more potential sponsors read RFSes with readily available packages to sponsor, the more they are encouraged to read RFSes. > still it > feels a bit demoralizing. Yes, I understand that deleting a package from mentors and closing the corresponding RFS can be felt like a rejection. > Would be great if the script can first prompt > the submitter to reupload to mentors to show that the uploader is still > interested, and after another delay (e.g. 7 days) to close the bugs. That sounds like a nice feature addition for mentors.d.n. Then the uploader has a chance of preventing the removal of the package from mentors.d.n. Then the RFS remains open because there is still a package to sponsor. > > Meanwhile I have updated the package to the latest upstream version and > reuploaded to mentors.
