Re: [development] keeping an eye on old versions

I think that there is no policy!

The ideal would be the availabity of one person responsable for each release when a new one goes out. That person would maintain the release, applying patches or backports.

The problem is that no one wants to maintain old releases (we should maintain the last 3 releases), and the persons who want to maintain old releases are not *senior* enough to make critical decisions.

We do maintain the last two releases. As of Drupal 4.7 every release has a dedicated maintainer. There is no such maintainer for 4.6, that's why there are less bug fixes in 4.6 than in 4.7. Cheers, Gerhard
