Hi,
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
for GCompris, we don't have a lot of MR and even if some are old, we still plan to take over them at some point (we know which ones are unmaintained) so I think it's preferable to not add messages.
</div>

<div>
In a general manner, as said by Carl, MR should not be closed automatically.
</div>

<div>
Cheers,
</div>

For a short amount of time now, there have been some small-scale<br> trials of replying to old MRs with a reminder, and suggesting that the<br> author closes the MR if it is either no longer needed or if it needs<br> more work and the author does not have time for it.<br> <br> This has appeared to have a positive impact on the state of KDE<br> software from this (albeit limited) trial. Some MRs have had renewed<br> interest, others have admitted that they had forgotten that the MR<br> even existed.<br> <br> We did consider closing MRs if there was no activity after our ping<br> message. **We are no longer planning on doing this**, as it is more<br> destructive than helpful. All decisions on if a MR should be closed<br> will be left with the maintainers and the person who opened the MR.<br> <br> So, we need a proper discussion about this, should we send these<br> reminder messages at all? If so, how old should an MR be before<br> sending this reminder? Should closing the MR even be suggested in the<br> message?<br> <br> If your specific project does not play nicely with this programme,<br> please let us know and we can add it to the list of exclusions on our<br> KDE Community page.<br> <br> I need your input,<br> - Kye Potter, KDE Gardening<br>
