This document outlines some processes that the maintainers should stick to.
We will try to stick to the same range of Node.js versions supported by ESLint as much as possible.
For local development and CI, we will use the Maintenance LTS version (specified in .nvmrc
file).
There are 3 types of issues that can be created:
"bug"
"new rule"
"enhancement"
The triage process is basically making sure that the issue is correctly reported (and ask for more info if not), and categorize it correctly if it belongs to a different type than initially assigned.
- When a new issue is created, they'll include a
"triage"
label - If the issue is correctly reported, please remove the
"triage"
label, so we know is valid and ready to be tackled - If the issue is not correctly reported, please ask for more details and add the
"awaiting response"
label, so we know more info has been requested to the author - If the issue belong to an incorrect category, please update the labels to put it in the right category
- If the issue is duplicated, please close it including a comment with a link to the duplicating issue
TODO: pending to describe the main PR process
When the PR gets merged, please check if the author of the PR or the closed issue (if any) should be added or updated in the Contributors section.
If so, you can ask the @all-contributors
bot to add a contributor in a comment of the merged PR (this works for both adding and updating). Remember to check the Contribution Types table to decide which sort of contribution should be assigned.
This repo uses probot-stale to close abandoned issues and PRs after a period of inactivity.
They'll be considered inactive if they match all the following conditions:
- they have been 60 days inactive
- they have at least one of the following labels:
"awaiting response"
: we are waiting for more details but the author didn't react"new rule"
: there is a proposal for a new rule that no one could handle"enhancement"
: there is a proposal for an enhancement that no one could handle"invalid"
: something is wrong with the issue/PR and the author didn't take care of it
When flagged as a stale issue or PR, they'll be definitely closed after 7 more days of inactivity. Issues and PRs with the following labels are excluded: "pinned"
, "security"
, and "triage"
. Use the first one if you need to exclude an issue or PR from being closed for whatever reason even if the inactive criteria is matched.
