I do. Just have a look at the timeline of Silke's responses. There are many
months inbetween any response of hers. Have a look at how many times she had
been asked to respond, ... nothing much since ...
Finally, this is not the first incident of this type with Silke - IIRC, the same
has happened in Fedora.US. - So, I am not negative, I am drawing conclusions
based on former contacts with her.

As it seems to me, her opinion is, she can "stop by", "drop her spec" and let
others polish it - She should learn she's in error.

I am opposed to doing this, because this would encourage people to perform
"drive-by review request bombs". Instead, people should to understand that if
they submit a package for review, it's their baby they are dropping and they'll
be expected to take care about it in future.

If that's not acceptable to them, they 'd better stay away from FE.

Well, I am not opposed in somebody else adopting Silke's package. But it won't
be me - I am not her coding-monkey. 

> gdal is an important key component for various interesting things.
Exactly, that's why I want to see this "damn thing" nailed down.

Actually, I want
* Silke to wake up and start cooperating
 or 
* some volunteer to take over her package
 or
* somebody closing this RR, giving others the liberty of resubmitting a new one.

> also e.g. in the case of initng ...
initng and my other very friend elektra are completely different cases. IMO,
these packages are a million miles away off from being ready for public use.

In case of gdal the situation different: This simply is a case of a submitter
being non-responsive for reasons I can only speculate on. 

> hope you dont take the response as offensive.. its not meant to be.
Understood.
