<riteo>what you talking about?
<asimovc>number of issues not closed
<riteo>that does not mean it's abandoned
<asimovc>pull requests in time that having months and still not closed
<asimovc>packages that need patching and no one cares about
<sewn>asimovc:
<sewn>kiss-community is a community effort
<riteo>most issues/prs are ideas that would require a very high amount of work, which is missing
<sewn>do you think theres thousands of users
<sewn>or people getting paid to do these proposals or bug fixes
<riteo>yeah sewn is explaining it way better than me :P
<asimovc>i remember i have a issue in busybox that is a simple patch stuff and alpine did it. This issue has perdured for months link 7 or more
<riteo>meaning the same thing though and I 100% agree on what sewn is saying
<sewn>i understand the "why isnt my OSS project giving me the respect I deserve", but as an OSS developer, you have to understand that these things are given to you by peoples free time
<sewn>it is not a right to you
<phinxy>Id try Alpine out if it hadnt used OpenRC
<sewn>be the change you wish to see. help out.
<sewn>contribute.
<riteo>I mean, that's actually the big advantage of kiss. If you really need something you can make it yourself right away
<sewn>instead of complaining about how no bug fixes or no proposals are being applied
<asimovc>then give people with free time the power to change it
<riteo>patching a debian package is way more painful xD
<sewn>asimovc: whats the issue? thats purely possible
<asimovc>is frustrating making an issue and can't do nothing about because no one sees it and no one accept the pr or fix
<sewn>is there a fix?
<sewn>is there a PR?
<asimovc>likyle i said
<asimovc>sometimes i made a pr in community
<riteo>I don't think that the maintainer model is being enforced anymore, is it?
<sewn>it is
<asimovc>weeks and a have to call people here more than one time to be listened
<sewn>kiss has a BDFL
<sewn>kiss-community doesnt
<sewn>and doesnt have a set of people who are actively scouring for maintainership
<sewn>the bare minimum (update packages) is what is being done atm
<asimovc>the BDFL of kiss even see the prs, some are fixed and still opened
<sewn>asimovc: give me an example
<sewn>a kiss-community bug, with a PR that was opened to fix it
<sewn>if its true i will be very dissapointed
<sewn>i dont blame kiss-community, because the actual maintainers, people with commit permission, have lives
<asimovc>kiss repo is just updating stuff and fix big issues
<riteo>sewn: regarding the maintainer model, I mean that one can make a PR for "somebody else's" package
<sewn>asimovc: thats what i just said
<sewn>riteo: ahh
<sewn>i mean
<riteo>like, the maintainer model forbit making PRs and shit
<sewn>dependso n the maintainer
<riteo>oh I see
<sewn>if your name is ioraff, hard no
<sewn>but for the rest i believe you can make bug fixes and they get approved, like ones i made on kiss-xorg
