I'd like to propose an initiative to reduce the amount of boilerplate code in various parts of Drupal core.
Some existing issues that would fall under this:
-
📌
add an entity Links handler, to provide menu links/tasks/actions for entity types
Needs work
-
📌
Introduce entity permission providers
Needs work
-
#3029291: add a generic plugin manager class →
-- currently a patch for the Plugin contrib module, but could be repurposed for core
- compound Form element widgets, such as
✨
Provide form element and reuse that in field widget
Needs work
- declarative form AJAX (issue coming!)
Other ideas:
- constraint plugins require two classes -- could they be combined?
- provide an Entity list handler that shows the basic fields OOTB
- ... ?

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Collecting issues...
I'm in support of this. I don't know that we need an initiative - I think all of the issues listed so far represent common sense DX improvements.
An initiative makes sense if you want to build a cohort of like-minded folks to progress them. It would be a community initiative I assume (like Bug smash). So I guess the next step would be to try to recruit some folks.
