Shaun Ruffell commented on DAHLIN-379:
--------------------------------------

Yeah, I hear you how frustrating it is. My understanding is that maintenance of DAHDI has been moved to a new group after the acquisition by Sangoma and they are just overloaded with other work (and I do not think telephony hardware is the focus of the business anymore).  Hopefully someone from that group will step forward.

Regarding 'next' vs 'master' I can say that it is modeled after linux-next [https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/linux-next.html], the thought being that it was originally a place for different WIP to be placed before merging onto master and into the permanent history. Deciding what went into the permanent history was historically reserved for the person who is the designated maintainer (who that person is now, I am not certain).  So rather than thinking of it as the "head of development" I would think of it as a collection place for the heads of development, but that can be forced pushed / have it's history rewritten if necessary.  It made more since when more people were working on stuff at the same time and it was a way for everyone to test against everyone else's work....

But yes...I would be interested in knowing Sangoma's plans for maintaining DAHDI going forward.
