Re: Splitting gnome-utils for 3.4

Hi Cosimo,  

I am fine with the module split as long as the release team is okay with having to generate some more tar balls. Have they been asked?

Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

I plan to assign maintainership of each of the "new" modules to the
relevant maintainers as listed here basically [1].
Tarballs are usually not a problem, and release-team members always
stepped up and rolled tarballs when the maintainer wasn't available and
a new release was needed.
