PROCESS CHANGE: WG leads should be in CNCF's maintainers.csv
aliok opened this issue · comments
During #945 I see TOC and SC members are added to the list in https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/project-maintainers.csv.
However, we should have more people there.
For example, Istio has different groups (https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/project-maintainers.csv#L1179):
- Istio: Steering Committee
- Istio: Technical Oversight Committee
- Istio: Working Group Leads
- Istio: Maintainers
We can go with the same structure.
Expected benefits
- Rewarding the contributors by listing their name there
- Being able to subscribe to maintainers-only things like some newsletters, etc.
- Getting rid of the necessity to prove that I am actually a maintainer in Knative project.
Expected costs
- More people are listed there - shouldn't cause any issue
- Scripting change
cc @knative/steering-committee
Some notes:
- If we go with this, SC wants to clean up the peribolos YAML file first as there are usernames there who haven't done any contributions for years
- To remove people from peribolos, we need to define what are the criteria for that
- @lance to lead the discussion for those criteria
Also, @csantanapr , it was mentioned that you might have an objection for this. Any comments?
