Read carefully. I wrote "everyone is allowed / suggested to work on those packages", not this is a blanco cheque to do anything you can think of. Collab-maint is like a big team (with everyone being member) and such what is acceptable or not should be like what's acceptable or not in our (bigger) teams. Especially I did not endorse hijacking. (And yes, I'd be ok if someone adds himeself as Co-Maintainer to my packages, and brush them up and fixes this nasty bugs, fine with me;) I agree with you that at minimum out of courtesy someone should get in touch before doing so. > Joking aside, I think you are the one who misunderstands > co-maintainership and collab-maint, not me.

If you were right, what exactly would be the difference between collab-maint and the other personal repos, then? Because you have all those features you describe in every repo. As said, this is not an endorsment of any hi-jacking but this thread sheds also some not so nice light on you... But Holger wrote that already. -- tobi
