Offering to maintain Year Only

Created on 10 June 2024, 10 months ago
Updated 26 August 2024, 7 months ago

Problem/Motivation

I am current co-maintainer of Year Only . I have been the only active maintainer since joining the project 1.5 years ago. I want to ensure the module is properly maintained and would like to:

  • Set the status to Actively Maintained
  • Update the project page to reflect current/future features
  • Add documentation
  • Update the default branch

I lack the permissions to do any of these. I have requested elevated permission for months with no response. The last commit/activity from the current owner was 4 years ago on 12 June 2020.

Additionally, I plan to deprecate my similar Year module 🌱 Eventual Deprecation in favor of Year Only Active when it is clear that Year Only will be properly maintained.

Proposed Resolution

Promote justcaldwell to Maintainer.

    Hello Amit!
    I've started the process of deprecating Year
    (https://drupal.org/project/year) in favor of Year Only. I would like to be
    able to edit the Year Only project page, update maintenance status, etc.
    Would you be willing to grant me the 'Edit project' permission, please?

    Thank you in advance,
    Michael @justcaldwell

    Subject: Edit project permission for Year Only

    Hello again Amit,
    I would like to be able to edit the project page for Year Only, as well as
    set the status to 'Actively maintained'. Would you be willing to grand me
    'Edit project' permission at https://www.drupal.org/node/2891170/maintainers ?

    Thank you,

    Subject: Please respond - edit permission for Year Only

    Hello Amit,
    Thought I'd give it one last shot. The Year Only issue queue could really use
    some work, and I'd be happy to work on adding some features for the
    community. But I'm unwilling to do so unless I can properly edit and maintain
    the project page to reflect changes.

    I would like to be able to edit the project page for Year Only, as well as
    set the status to 'Actively maintained'. Would you be willing to grant me
    'Edit project' permission at https://www.drupal.org/node/2891170/maintainers ?

    I'd appreciate a response, even if it is a simple 'no'.

    Regards,
    Michael @justcaldwell

    Hello Amit,
    It has been two weeks since I opened the offer to maintain or own Year Only with no response. Per the Project ownership guidelines, I've moved the issue to the Project ownership queue.

    Is there something else I need to do to support this request?

  • 🇺🇸United States justcaldwell Austin, Texas

    Updated the issue summary and converted to ownership transfer request.

  • 🇮🇹Italy apaderno Brescia, 🇮🇹

    Once the issue has been created, its purpose cannot be changed, at least not to request more permissions on the project.

  • 🇮🇹Italy apaderno Brescia, 🇮🇹
  • 🇺🇸United States justcaldwell Austin, Texas

    Understood. Thank you for the feedback.

  • 🇺🇸United States justcaldwell Austin, Texas

    Corrected the Proposed Resolution in light of #14.

    This is the message I sent.

    Hello Amit,

    I am contacting you because Michael ( https://www.drupal.org/u/justcaldwell ), who is already co-maintainer, offered to become maintainer for Year Only ( https://www.drupal.org/project/yearonly ), a project you created for which you are project owner and maintainer.

    May you post a comment on https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3453698 Offering to maintain or own Year Only Active about accepting or declining the offer? Please do not reply via email; we need a reply on the offer issue.
    In the case you accept the offer, you can also add Michael as maintainer, but this is not necessary, as project moderators can add co-maintainers/maintainers to any project.
    Without a comment posted on that issue in the next 14 days, Michael will be probably made maintainer.

    Project moderators will not remove the existing maintainers/co-maintainers; the project owner will not be replaced either. Maintainers cannot change the project owner; co-maintainers/maintainers can only be removed/added by people who have the permission to administer co-maintainers/maintainers.

    A last note: This offer is about being maintainer, which for us means somebody with all the drupal.org permissions on the project: Write to VCS, Edit project, Administer maintainers, Maintain issues, Administer releases. A person who does not have all those permissions is a co-maintainer.
    If there is any reason not make Michael project maintainer, please explain that on https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3453698 Offering to maintain or own Year Only Active .

    Best regards,
    Alberto Paderno
    -- Drupal.org project moderator
    -- Drupal.org site moderator

    I made justcaldwell maintainer. He just needed two permissions more to be maintainer: Edit project and Administer maintainers.

    Thank you!
