The last I knew, Mark Galassi was still around, although, when I check his forwarding file, I see that it is forwarded to rosalia@redhat.com so that's obviously wrong. Jason Molenda (or maybe Ian?), I'm drawing a blank on the project that Mark was/is(?) associated with on sourceware. I wanted to check the mailing list to see if he was active but I can't remember which it was. >(In fact, we also should consider a regular check and lock/remove accounts >that have not been used for, say 18 months. I know that other projects >with a longer history of "public" CVS repositories have been doing that.) I agree except I don't know exactly how to check. Do you mean just send a "are you still there?" to the account? FWIW, I do remove people that I personally know about but that obviously isn't a scalable way of handling this. cgf
