Hi Ismaël,
Honestly, for 4, I think it's not so bad and we clearly improved in the past
months. It's definitely an area where we have to keep improving, but I think we
do a good job (especially comparing to other projects).
For 5, agree. For example, I limit myself to 3 or 4 pull requests: that's why I
have more than 10 local branches waiting.
Regards
JB

+1 Great idea Aviem, thanks for bringing this subject to the mailing list.
I agree in particular with the freeing JIRA part, I think we shouldn’t
keep assigned JIRAs that are things that we don’t expect to solve in
the next weeks. (note the exception for this are the long features).
I would add two more issues.
4. We need to react and review code faster for new contributors and
belp them as much as we can.
I know that this one implies extra work but I have seen many times
people asking for reviews days after they create a PR and even worse,
people who have not been able to merge their changes because they were
dealing with a long code review and then a different PR already
included changes that fixed the same issue.
5. We should try to keep the number of open pull requests low.
Our average number of open Pull Requests is continuously increasing
(current average is 70), There are some PRs in open discussion but
some are clearly stagnated , maybe we should have like a deadline,
like if no discussions or improvements were done in the last month we
must close them and if there is still interest well they will be
re-opened in that case.
The ‘good news’ is that we have 350 unassigned unresolved issues that
anyone can take this is a good improvement but I agree that we can do
better.

Hi,
as we already discussed about that, +1.
I would also propose to not assign new Jira automatically: now, the Jira is
automatically assigned to the Jira component leader.

Hi all,
I wanted to start a discussion about actions we can take to encourage more
contributions to the project.
A few points I've been thinking of:
1. Have people unassign themselves from issues they're not actively
working
on.
2. Have the community engage more in triage, improving tickets
descriptions
and raising concerns.
3. Clean house - apply (2) to currently open issues (over 800). Perhaps
some can be closed.
Thoughts? Ideas?
