When I was assigned as an owner of github.com/gwtproject, there was only one other non-Google member. The teams haven't changed since then - we have two non-Google maintainers, and three non-Google site maintainers.
I think we're long past due to update this setup - but as the most-junior addition to the "owners" group, and as a person who stands to have at least *some* financial gain from the GWT Project, I have avoided making any administrative change like this. One set of changes I have been involved in - granting access to specific community members to the extracted modules that they have contributed to. This limits scope of individual contributors to the project they are working on, and requires some oversight and coordination. This work is somewhat stalled as we try to resolve an effective way to compile various locales into working applications in J2CL, but that's outside the scope of this message. I'd like to propose updating the maintainers lists for GwtProject, after a short period of discussion here. A maintainer of a repository will have write access - ability to manage issues and pull requests, ability to push to branches (except once protected). I've discussed this with a few contributors, and would like to propose updating the list of maintainers as follows (*existing members* in italics): *Project-wide* - responsible for the entire github.com/gwtproject setup, including admin access to projects: *Colin Alworth* (past and present contributor/reviewer, manages releases) *Thomas Broyer* (past contributor, current reviewer, maintains a set of GWT archetypes and the suggested Maven plugin) Ahmad Bawaneh (past and present contributor/reviewer, module migration, release testing) *GWT* - Dev tools, JRE emulation, and existing (frozen) user modules: *Jens Nehlmeier* (past contributor, current reviewer, module migration) Zbynek Konecny (past and present contributor/reviewer, site maintainer, release testing) *GWT-site/webapp* - gwtproject.org content. Presently separate repos, but now that -webapp doesn't control deployments we might consider merging them: *Jens Nehlmeier* Zbynek Konecny Frank Hossfeld (site maintainer, release testing) I debated about how to write this message, and ended up deciding on this format so that we could have a working starting point of past and future maintainers to consider. I do _not_ have a specific set of "criteria to meet" for any of these roles, and I would welcome any other nominations, plus also any "seconds" to advocate for these other other nominations. This is a busy time of the year for many, so I will take no action regarding this until at least Jan 8, and will send at least one reminder if there is no other discussion before that time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
