Hi,I had this idea I want to test here. When creating a Portfile and adding: maintainers - only GitHub is recognized when adding a username like “@fooBar”. One *could* cheat and use: In Portfile: maintainers {GitHost:\ @fooBar} With "port info": Maintainers: Email: GitHost: @fooBar So, I was thinking it would be great with an optional syntax to be able to add a couple of Git host services: GitLab and Bitbucket (= the 3 big ones), so one could use something like: /# just as a test to get the output:/ In Portfile: maintainers @fooBar @gh:Foo @gl:Bar @bb:Baz With "port info": Maintainers: GitHub: fooBar GitHub: Foo GitLab: Bar Bitbucket: Baz I've tested the prefixes by changing “macportports_utils.tcl”, but using github for all when setting the maintainer, so the part of picking up the prefixes works. And then I guess it just needs the 2 additional entries to port.tcl. I haven't tested that part. Would that be a good idea? Or maybe it's already been discussed earlier.
I believe the maintainers field is used to contact the maintainer, either via email or by mentioning (@) the user on GitHub. We can't contact one with their GitLab or Bitbucket account in our PRs or Trac tickets, so I think other Git hosting services are not relevant here. If in the future we switch to another service for issue/PR tracking, we may adopt a transitional scheme like this though.
