Currently I am the "owner" of these repositories but I have only volunteered to do that so that these packages can be handed over smoothly once we have found some volunteers. I am not qualified myself because I have never even just used these packages. |
Hey @dickmao and @NotMoni, thanks for offering your help! Could you please say a few words about your experience maintaining elisp packages and also what kind of help you can and intend to offer here. I intend to review all commits for a while at least. Past experience has shown that I might have to intervene occasionally but I'll try hard to stay out of your way. |
@NotMoni I was really hoping for an experienced elisp developer but issue triage is also useful. You already have the necessary permissions, feel free to begin work. I had a quick look and feel that many old issues can be closed. It's probably best if you provide a one sentence for why you close an issue, except in extreme cases such as #481. |
I got your messages but I did not fully understand your first message and was a bit busy at the time so I put of replying. I understood what you said (I believe) but I was confused as to whether that meant that you did not want help maintain You talked about the value you see in |
You should have discussed this with me first. I would have asked you to use a less aggressive (close fewer issues), more careful (spend more time investigating each issue, twenty seconds is not enough), and more explicit (above I already asked for a short explanation in most cases) approach. |
No, it's okay. I would probably have closed the majority of these issues myself but I would have provided a short justification in more cases. Closing many issues wasn't necessarily wrong considering that past maintainers have done a very bad job closing resolved issues and issues that are certain not to lead anywhere. A few of these issues shouldn't have been closed, but now that they are closed we can leave them closed. Reopening issues that should remain closed also wouldn't be desirable. If someone feels that a particular issues should be reopened, then they just have to ask. |
This is now the second time that you just acted without giving someone else a few minutes to react first. You might want to avoid that in the future.
I disagree. This is worse than a few hours ago. Going forward I will not only hesitate to give someone write access but even just triage rights. Well, I think this is goodby. This and #510 does not look like this project is going to get any useful contributions from you. I feel a bit bad saying it like this but I don't want to waste any time on this either. |
I may have time for this package now! I am not too confident to maintain this package since the code base is quite complicated and not modular. But I would still like to give this package a try, and maybe start reading some code base and do basic review PRs; answering issue, etc. @tarsius Can you assign me to this repo? Thanks! |
