[Intelmq-dev] Write Access to Repositories, Issue Tracker: Develop Community Guidelines

[Sybil Ehrensberger]

Hi Devs

I think Dustin's idea of having a list of the maintainers with write
access would be very useful. Especially for someone who is new to the
project it is good to know who will be able to merge the pull request.
Currently, you kind of have to guess by looking at previous commits/issues.

I think keeping pull requests, regardless of whether more people will
receive write access to the repository, is a good idea. PRs are a great
way to do code review and get feedback from other contributors before
merging a new feature. Just because you have write access to the
repository does not mean that you can no longer make PRs.

As to having more maintainers it depends on the workload of the core
maintainers. It would definitely be useful to have more than one person
in case that person is on holidays or otherwise unavailable. Currently
there are 13 open PRs and as far as I can tell there are a couple that
can be merged and that I have been waiting for. However, not knowing who
even has the rights to merge them makes it hard to know why they have
not yet been merged.

If you/we trust the people enough to follow the community guidelines,
then I think Dustin's suggestions are a good idea and might help speed
up some of the processes (GitHub tells me that v1.0 Stable Release is
already 2 months past due :)).

Cheers,
Sybil
