[chef-dev] Re: Re: Ownership Changes of Chef Cookbooks Revisited

[Ryan Hass < >]

My concerns come from some of the cookbooks which have a large number of
outstanding pull requests as well as open issues. Often they have not
actually seen pull rquests merged, commented on, or otherwise closed.

Forking is always an option, just not the best one in my opinion.
Moreover, with this approach the issues remain -- without a common well
maintained upstream cookbook, amongst other issues, it becomes very
difficult to find "the right cookbook."
