Additional maintainers

[julien-duponchelle]

Hello,

I feel that I'm currently a bottleneck on the contribution pipeline of the project. Who would be interested in the contributors to get merge rights ?

Best,

Julien

I recommend @sean-k1 for the maintainer role. He has conducted a comprehensive walkthrough of the code and understands every aspect of it. His involvement would significantly benefit the project.

[julien-duponchelle]

@sean-k1 are you happy with that?

[sean-k1]

@julien-duponchelle sure!

Sorry Julien, but I have an error in pypi version 0.45.0, 1.0.0 ,1.0.1 and I don't have authorization to delete it, could you please delete it?

[julien-duponchelle]

Should be good now

[dongwook-chan]

I recommend @dongwook-chan too.

[julien-duponchelle]

@dongwook-chan are you happy with that?

[dongwook-chan]

Yes!

Thank you for granting me collaborator rights on the python-mysql-replication project. 😁 I truly appreciate the trust and opportunity you've extended. However, I noticed that I was given "collaborator" status rather than the "maintainer" role as previously discussed. I wanted to check if this was intentional or an oversight. Having maintainer rights would assist in streamlining some of the tasks I anticipate, especially with the upcoming Hacktoberfest preparations.

[julien-duponchelle]

I'm happy with that but I don't know how to do it. I see only the option to add collaborator but I don't see a way to increase the permission. I wonder If I need to move the project to an org for that.

I think providing project philosophy/goal and principles for maintainers to follow can help for recruiting additional maintainers!

[julien-duponchelle]

That's a good idea. Maybe a code of conduct could help. Do you have an example ? I think I could draft something and share it the community.

[jaehyeonpy]

I think your suggestion is really a good one, but I'd like to propose this before we go into details:

If you want to solve problems like async ones as you said, then you can refer to examples about management other open source project maintainers did. Their trial and error would be helpful.

However, if you want to expand the project and have it become a part of an industry or other, you can refer to documents related to community organization. Approaches such as community organization would be more beneficial in this case than relying on the personal experiences of other project maintainers.

You can decide on the direction you want to take on your own, or with the new additional maintainers @dongwook-chan @sean-k1. I can find and share some example or document, if needed, after the decision on the direction has been made.

I completely understand the importance of deliberation in making such decisions and I want you to take all the time you need. However, I want to apply python-mysql-replication for Hacktoberfest and there are certain modifications that need to be implemented beforehand. To ensure we're in good standing for Hacktoberfest, I'd like to request maintaining rights, even if on a temporary basis, so we can make the necessary changes. The application ends this month.
