intent to hand over or orphan several scientific packages and their build requirements

[Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski]

Hello!
I intend to hand over primary maintainership of the following packages
or orphan them if nobody steps up:
arpack
chemtool
cp2k
elpa
inchi
python-colorspacious
python-fypp
python-GridDataFormats
python-gsd
python-kaitaistruct
python-mmtf
python-mrcfile
python-Pympler
tachyon
wxmacmolplt
xdrawchem

I don't use them anymore, so I'm not a good maintainer for them.

Most, if not all above, are co-maintained by SciTech SIG already.
Please contact me if you want to take over one of these. Otherwise,
I will orphan them in the first week of the new year.

The packages are mostly in good shape, with the notable exceptions of
cp2k and elpa, but there's an open PR for cp2k to update and fix current
FTBFS.

Regards,
Dominik

Hello Dominik,

For the time being I will take inchi, if nobody else wants it. I
haven't used EPEL in a very long time, so I'm only interested in the
Fedora branches.

Having used these two for almost two decades I'd hate to see them go,
but I think we have a more capable (and maintained) replacement in
molsketch.

Most of the other packages on the list are installed on my systems,
but I can't say I've actually used them in quite some time. Still, it
would be a huge loss for Fedora's scientific capabilities to have them
disappear.

In any case, thank you for all your efforts so far.

Hello, Alexander.

Done. I put @scitech_sig as the default bugzilla assignee for EPEL.
Can you change the default assignee for Fedora to yourself? It looks
like it didn't get reset after transferring the project to you.

I gave you chemtool by mistake, feel free to give it back or orphan it.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.

This is done. I gave inchi to Alexander and the rest are up for taking.
