Similarly, although it has not yet +really been a problem, Accepted GLEPs also have the potential to linger +without any indication that they are moving forward toward being finalized. +Having a "timeout" period for GLEPs should spur GLEP authors to remain active +in either getting support for or finalizing GLEPs. + +Specification +============= + + +If a Draft GLEP is inactive for more than 60 days or an Accepted GLEP is +inactive for more than six months, then it would be marked as "deferred" on +the main `GLEP page`_. Inactivity is defined simply as the GLEP author has +not contacted the GLEP editors with either an update or a request to submit +the GLEP for approval (in the case of a Draft GLEP) or a request that the GLEP +be marked final (in the case of an Accepted GLEP). + +.. _GLEP page: http://glep.gentoo.org + +A GLEP that has been marked "deferred" may be reopened by request of the GLEP +author or a Gentoo manager, as long as that request also includes either an +update or a note submitting the GLEP for approval or finalization. + +Rationale +========= + +The GLEP editors have better things to do than chase after GLEP authors to +find out how their GLEPs are progressing. This GLEP should help. + + +Backwards Compatibility +======================= + +Not really an issue here. + + +Copyright +========= + +This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 +Unported License.
