[Slackbuilds-users] Alan Aversa (aka Caterino Tommaso, T.O.P.)

[B. Watson]

This is unpleasant, but the SBo admin team has come to a decision
about Alan Aversa (also known as Caterino Tommaso, T.O.P.).

We've tried to reach this maintainer via email several times over the
past few weeks, including posting to the mailing list. We have also
tried sending messages on LQ.

This person has been breaking two of the rules:

- Submitting updates for other peoples' builds without permission.

- Not basing his updates on our changes, when we have to change
   something in one of his builds. E.g. anki does not require Markdown,
   and we removed it from REQUIRES, but every time he updates anki, he
   re-adds Markdown to REQUIRES.

Since this has been going on for a while now, and we can't reach him
to explain why this isn't allowed, we're giving up.

If anyone would like to take over any of these builds, please send
an update (submission form or PR/MR) setting yourself as maintainer,
and whatever other changes you'd like to make. Most of them need
version updates.

Anything that hasn't been taken by the next weekly update will be
orphaned. We don't like to do this, but the bogus updates have caused
us headaches and extra work. We're done.
