Hi Joseph, great to hear you want to contribute, we appreciate that a lot! But you mind have noticed there are a huge amount of open issues and pull request and we simple can not catch up due to the limited amount of time and volunteers. Regarding the open PRs, I expect that most were created in a period where Maven itself was still on subversion, but the Apache Software Foundation provided read-only copies at Github. The integration between both systems was bad, we didn't get notifications and trying to patch it back to subversion was a nightmare. Things are better nowadays, but we still suffer from that period. My main activity is currently reading and writing daily e-mails and trying to get and keep everything stable.So development is not even in the top 3 activities. Going through older PRs is something that should be done, but I'm afraid it is not getting the highest priority. Don't let this be a message to stop contributing, just be aware that it requires some patience. thanks, Robert On 14-5-2019 06:21:17, Joseph Walton <jwal...@atlassian.com> wrote: --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org As an interested contributor, I've opened a couple of pull requests, and it's not always clear what the next step is for a non-project-member to get things merged. To see how other PRs (https://github.com/apache/maven/pulls [https://github.com/apache/maven/pulls] -- currently, '32 open') are being handled, I thought it might make sense to chart them; chart attached. Notable: * a significant number were opened more than a year ago (as far back as 2014), haven't been merged and now have conflicts. Could they be closed? * some more recent ones are mergeable, and approved. Can these be merged? * for the other PRs in between -- do they need work, or would closing them send a clearer message? Thanks.
