Offering to become project owner/maintainer

Created on 17 April 2025, 2 months ago

At Dropsolid → we are currently creating a lightGallery 2.x based module that will provide a field formatter for both image and media reference fields.

It looks like this module ain't maintained anymore, so I would like to become project owner or maintainer to publish our work as version 2.x. We will not provide a migration path from 1.x nor support that version.

I previously reached out to robin.ingelbrecht to ask for access, but since I didn't get any response I'm opening an issue here according to the official process to get project owner or maintainer access.

    Hey @matthijs, thanks for the interisting in maintaing this module, your help and the help of Dropsolid are welcome. Unfortunatelly I don't have the permissions to manage maintainers here. I think we should move this issue to somewhere else to see if we can change this. Meanwhile, feel free to open issues and merge requests, I can review, commit and release new versions

    Only robin.ingelbrecht has the Administer maintainers permission.

    Thanks for your offering to help murilohp! I can (once our module is finished) open an MR for sure, but that way of working will be a hassle in the long run, so let's hope robin.ingelbrecht replies.

  • 🇧🇪Belgium matthijs

    @murilohp Could you create a 2.x branch so I can create an MR to it? This will allow you to review what I did, but please don't merge (yet) nor publish a new version. Thanks!

    @matthijs I would suggest moving this issue to the Drupal.org project ownership queue between 10 days, if you are still interested in becoming maintainer.

    Could you create a 2.x branch so I can create an MR to it?

    Sure! Just created a new 2.x branch, feel free to open an issue and create a MR for this new branch.

  • 🇧🇪Belgium matthijs

    Yes, I'll move the issue to the Drupal.org project ownership queue in 10 days. The MR here (not gonna create a new issue for it) is just FYI in case murilohp would like to do a review. Thanks both!

    robin.ingelbrecht logged in at least once in the past two months. I am going to contact him once I go back to my computer. (The project link is https://www.drupal.org/project/lightgallery → .)

    This is the message I sent.

    Hello Robin,

    I am contacting you because Matthijs ( https://www.drupal.org/u/matthijs → ) offered to become maintainer for Lightgallery ( https://www.drupal.org/project/lightgallery → ), 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/3519648 💬 Offering to become project owner/maintainer Active about accepting or declining the offer? Please do not reply via email; we need a reply on the offer issue.
    Without a comment posted on that issue in the next 14 days, Matthijs 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 is different from being co-maintainer. A maintainer is a person who has all the drupal.org permissions on a 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 for not giving all those permissions, please explain that on https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3519648 💬 Offering to become project owner/maintainer Active . We need this to know it was intentional and not a misunderstanding on what the offer required.

    Best regards,

    The status has been changed because we are waiting for a reply.
    Please post a comment after 14 days, if your offer has not been declined. It will show you are still interested in maintaining this project and it will serve as reminder an action is required for this offer.
