[Savannah-hackers-public] cgit/gitweb - owner updates

[Assaf Gordon]

Hello,

similar to updating the git 'description' files, I plan to update the 'owner' 
information.
Here I see two main options:

1. Use the name of the most veteran active administrator for each project.

Few examples:
    administration                          Karl Berry (karl)
    adns                                    Ian Jackson (ijackson)
    coreutils                               Jim Meyering (meyering)
    emacs                                   Richard M. Stallman (rms)
    findutils                               Eric Blake (ericb)
    gawk                                    Arnold Robbins (arnold)
    sed                                     Jose E. Marchesi (jemarch)
    tar                                     Jeff Bailey (jbailey)

This is similar to existing owner information in some projects,
where the name is shown (but without contact information).

2. Use the email of the 'most suitable' mailing list.

Few examples:
    administration      address@hidden
    coreutils           address@hidden
    emacs               address@hidden
    findutils           address@hidden
    gawk                address@hidden
    sed                 address@hidden
    tar                 address@hidden

This is not as friendly as the name of the owner, but perhaps more useable.

Since both of these lists were automatically generated based on the current 
database values,
there's no easy perfect solution - there will always be exceptions or incorrect 
values.

Which one do you think is better?
