Re: Removing lead maintainers

Hi, If you want to list non-active authors who are no longer maintainers, it doesn't make any sense to put them in the <maintainer> tag. Better is to add a new tag. It's slightly more work for the parser, but not really. I'd say <authors> and <author> for people without PEAR accounts. This would be a good place to give credit to documentors, and other roles that don't imply cvs or code access. Of course, I always like more comprehensive solutions :) Greg Stig S. Bakken wrote:

role="emeritus"?

How very professional! I like it.

ACK.

Same here. It has the nice benefit that it doesn't require a policy decision, just an implementation.

And a dictionary.

Hey, you have to admit that "emeritus" has some more schwong over it than "retired"? Webster says: retired: withdrawn from active duty or business emeritus: a veteran who has honorably completed his service It's like the different between an old grumpy schmuck and someone who may be able to give some advice. ;-) - Stig
