I don=E2=80=99t think there=E2=80= =99s a formal process; it=E2=80=99s more of a matter of judgment on a case-by-case basis.= The [general guidelines on consensus-based decision making] certainly apply. In this case, it seems the original maintainer has been absent for several years, there are active requests for a fork (see [any takers for a fork? =E2=80=94 sourcehut lists]), and Suhail has made [substantial tidyi= ng] over several weeks. Given these circumstances, and Suhail=E2=80=99s [established presence] as a contributor, the fact that he is both the author of the patch and the fork is not concerning to me. So +1 from me (as a user of the Guix package) for what it=E2=80=99s worth. =E2=80=94Liam [general guidelines on consensus-based decision making] [any takers for a fork? =E2=80=94 sourcehut lists] [substantial tidying] [established presence] --=-=-=--
