Stewards,
I would like to nominate Florian Weimer from Red Hat as the component
maintainer for network. Florian Weimer comes to the glibc community
with extensive experience in security, networking protocols, DNS,
and more. Florian was instrumental in helping with CVE-2015-7547
and I expect the test case for that CVE to become part of our
testing framework for testing all future stub resolver issues.
Florian is keen to help glibc update the stub resolver and parts of
NSS in an incremental fashion, keeping in mind all of the legacy
applications that have to keep working and their expectations.
Florian understands that we are a conservative project and that we like
to see small steps that have clear consensus and that nobody would
object to. And the network code, particularly the stub resolver needs
to be owned by the community and maintained to a standard that we are
all happy to support it (instead of wishing we'd sync up again with the
unsupported BIND8 code).
Florian,
I suggest waiting 1 month for comments from the community, and then
adding your name as "Maintainer" under the network component here:

Cheers,
Carlos.
