I floated a proposal on stdlib-sig to create a file named
Misc/maintainers.rst. The purpose of this file is to collect
knowledge
about who knows which modules well enough to make decision about
issues
in the tracker when the participants in the issue aren't sure, and
to
write down the community knowledge about who has special interest
and
expertise in specific topic areas.
This proposal was met with approval and, after a couple of small
modifications of the proposal, no dissent; so I've created the
skeleton
of the file. I've filled in some of the blanks where I had personal
knowledge, was told info on IRC, from the two referenced PEPs, and
from PEP 11.
Feel free to respond with comments about the header text, but more
importantly let me know what you know about who (especially if it
is you)
should be listed for each module, platform, and topic, and feel
free to
suggest additional topics. My goal is to record the community
knowledge.
One thing I'd like to see in the list are real names of committers,
not tracker names. Of course, people looking for people to assign
a bug
to should not have to search for the tracker name, so I'd like to
make
another request (that Brett already made when we switched trackers):
Could we *please* have tracker names that match the committer names?
(This doesn't even need to be done by the individual users, I would
volunteer to rename all committer accounts and notify them by email
that
their name changed. This will also be coordinated with the new names
used for Mercurial commits, if a change will be made.)
+1 from me. It would be nice to not have to look up what tracker name
someone uses since I know everyone's committer name.
+1 from me also. This has long been a source of irritation.
