uPortalers, I got some private feedback that this thread could be taken as offensive, as pushing participants out.
It wasn't my intent to offend. Please read this thread as technical and administrative. That Team grants push to forty (!!!) repos. It's a lot of write access. I'm delighted for collaborators who need that access and who are using it to make progress happen to have it, of course. However, I think it's an essential administrative practice to, from time to time, clean up the GitHub teams of accounts that don't anticipate needing that level of access. I laid out in my post several options other than dropping Team membership. Please, please do avail yourself of those options if they're the right answer for your situation. I'd emphasize also that my email does not demand any action. I'm not in a position to demand action, nor am I interested in that approach : I can only call reality as I see it and suggest some moves to make. The reality is there are a handful of GitHub accounts that have a lot of write access but don't seem to be using it for its obvious purpose, and so one of those paths forward is probably in order for each. I'd emphasize further that membership in that write-access-granting-Team is necessary only for a specific kind of most-active collaboration on the uPortal codebase. There are a lot of ways of participating in the uPortal project; participating in ways that don't require that Team membership isn't less valuable as such. Please do let me know what I can do to help more participants to be active code contributors; I'd like to do it.
