Sure, we can debate about whether "up for grabs" is the right name or not. Fact is, we have a link right now that literally has this name in it and points to an issue system that we no longer use.

If we prefer to first debate the naming, I suggest we take that link offline. But I don't know who created it or is in the power of removing it. Outside sites, such as [1] do refer to it, so we might expect reports of dead links - or proactively have them removed as well.


Thanks,

Hi all,

I personally don't like to call those issues "up for grabs", because this only says "nobody assign, feel free to work on". And this is easy visble by looking at the assigned person. No person assigned - noone (seems to ) working on it.

But want the filter is about are "good first issues" for newcomers. So I propse to name it to what is intended with it.

Hi all,

We used to have a shortlink [1] that would make it easy for people who want to contribute to Maven to find so-called "up for grabs" issues.

That link points to JIRA and selects all issues with
   category = Maven
   AND
   resolution = Unresolved
   AND
   labels = up-for-grabs

After our recent move to GitHub issues, this is outdated.

My question is two-fold:

1. Can we have a similar query on GitHub? I'm thinking something like "within the apache organisation AND with 'maven' in the name or tags AND with an 'up-for-grabs' label. 2. Can we modify that shortlink? I don't know who has created it, but since it's hosted at apache.org I'm having good hopes it should be possible to modify it.


Thanks,


Maarten
