 component.]

 Trac isn't a good tool for working out what we should do, or getting
 opinions from the network team.
 Please send an email to the tor-dev list instead.

 > We have a trac component "Core Tor / RPM packaging", which up until
 yesterday had zero open tickets in it, and currently has one:

 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=merge_ready&status=needs_information&status=needs_review&status=needs_revision&status=new&status=reopened&component=Core+Tor%2FRPM+packaging&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=component&order=priority

 I moved that ticket into Core Tor, because it had nothing to do with RPMs.

 > Hiviah is long gone as our RPM maintainer, meaning we don't have one --
 or rather, meaning we are at the mercy of whatever maintainer fedora and
 centos decide, or don't decide, to have for themselves.

 I removed hiviah as the default owner of RPM Packaging tickets.

 > Having an RPM packaging component on our trac can mislead people into
 thinking that we have people looking at our trac who might work on RPM
 packaging.

 I agree. But if that's our criteria, we should apply it consistently
 across all Trac components.

 > We should move the component to the trac attic, like other components
 that have lived a happy life but now it's time for them to move on.

 Ok, but let's do that after getting consensus on tor-dev at .
