Offering to maintain Extra Field

Created on 16 June 2024, 10 months ago
Updated 11 August 2024, 8 months ago

Motivation

Module is declared as unsupported and didn't have a release since more than a year ago.
I am an active user of the project and I would like very much seeing it thrive in the future.

Proposed resolution

I volunteer to maintain the module and pledge to do a Drupal 11 release.
I don't consider that I contributed very much to the module but I wrote an article about it
https://lostcarpark.com/advent/2023/7/extra-field
and opened one issue. ✨ Add support for Drupal Code Generator version 3 (required for drush 12) Active

You can see in my profile that maintain other modules and themes
https://www.drupal.org/u/rodrigoaguilera →
and I will try to, at least, roll releases that keep compatibility with Drupal core.

Remaining tasks

Add a new maintainer for the module.
If Sutharsan is not around anymore I will follow the procedure described here https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/managing-a-drupalorg-theme-module-or... →
to get the module to be updated.

    @rodrigoaguilera I'm fond of this module and about to use it in a project. Have you contacted the existing maintainers via their contact form and did you receive any response?

    I need to evaluate https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_extra_field →
    before committing to anything regarding this module (extra_field)

    @rodrigoaguilera Since the issue was not moved by you, I need to ask this: Are you still interested in offering to maintain the Extra Field module?

  • Status changed to Needs review 8 months ago
  • 🇪🇸Spain rodrigoaguilera Barcelona

    I had a deeper look at the similar module entity_extra_field ( https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_extra_field → ) and I don't think I will migrate since it is not so straightforward and this module `extra_field` covers my needs.
    Also extra_field has more sites using it so I think it is worth it to receive better support and a path forward into Drupal 11.

    In summary: Yes, I am still interested.

    Both the maintainers logged in at least once in the past three months. I am going to contact them.

    This is the message I sent to Sutharsan, the project owner.

    Hello Erik,

    I am contacting you because Rodrigo ( https://www.drupal.org/u/rodrigoaguilera → ) offered to become maintainer for Extra Field ( https://www.drupal.org/project/extra_field → ), 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/3454946 📌 Offering to maintain module 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 Rodrigo 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, Rodrigo 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.

    As 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 to give Rodrigo all those permissions, please explain that on https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3454946 📌 Offering to maintain module Active .

    I am contacting all the people who can administer co-maintainers/maintainers for the project.

    Best regards,
    Alberto Paderno

    I am going to contact also pcambra.
    The status is changed because we are waiting for a reply.

    The module is maintained, I asked Erik a couple of weeks back and he's adding some of his former colleagues as well.

    I'm a bit confused by this issue tbh.

  • 🇪🇸Spain rodrigoaguilera Barcelona

    My apologies for the stir. The "unsupported" status back in June is what made me offer myself as a maintainer.

    Great to read that the module will be maintained in the foreseeable future.

  • 🇳🇱Netherlands sutharsan

    @avpaderno, @rodrigoaguilera, I might have missed some messages, sorry about that. Thanks for stepping forward. For now I have assigned pcambra as maintainer. Of course you can contribute to the issue queue and work with him to maintain the module.
