Find a new maintainer? #95

Closed herbdool closed 2 years ago

herbdool commented 4 years ago

As the number of voluntary donations to maintain & support the extension can still be counted with a single hand, maintenance of this extension is officially discontinued. You can still contract Cividesk, or any other CiviCRM provider, for any needed maintenance. Thanks for your understanding.

According to https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/extensions/lifecycle/ it seems that if the extension is no longer being maintained that it should either be marked as deprecated, or be reported to https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/extension-review-requests/issues to be delisted or unpublished.

jaapjansma commented 2 years ago

I would rather then handover the maintenance to a wider community. I am happy to take this on and make this a community extension as it is a useful extension.

ginkgomzd commented 2 years ago

"Deprecated" sounds like the wrong designation for this scenario. It sounds to me like "Seeking Maintainer". I don't know what "community maintenance" means: are there processes in place for such a designation?

It's my own pet peeve when people talk as if maintainer status not being handed over is a block to any volunteer contributions. It should be the reverse... any "Seeking Maintainer" extension should be a sign for others to donate freely, and if someone establishes a track-record, they can petition the previous maintainer or the community to get the official status.

FYI, I have no intention of using this extension in the future. ;-)

jaapjansma commented 2 years ago

@ginkgomzd with community I mean that several people have merge rights on this repo so that when someone submits a pull request it gets merged and it is not dependent on one specific person. I am happy to take that on but lets see what @nganivet thinks about that.

nganivet commented 2 years ago

@jaapjansma Thanks for offering to maintain this extension in the future. Do you a) have clients that use this extension, and b) have a test environment in place for testing incoming PRs?

nganivet commented 2 years ago

@herbdool I see no reason this extension should be deprecated. Could you please suggest a language that would indicate this extension is "seeking maintainer" according to the lifecycle documents mentioned in your first post? I will then update the README.md accordingly. Thanks.

jaapjansma commented 2 years ago

@nganivet I have two clients who are using sparkpost. Those are long term clients and I work with them regularly. Both are in need for the transactional email bounce handling. (See #105) and one of them funded this. Both are behind CiviProxy and both use https://github.com/systopia/be.aivl.sparkpostbounceapi to track bounces through CiviProxy.

@jaapjansma @herbdool @mlutfy , per this and #103 it would make sense to merge these forks (incl. @JoeMurray's) into a single extension maintained on lab.civicrm. Is this something you can co-ordinate between the 3 of you?

jaapjansma commented 2 years ago

Yes I am happy to coordinate. @herbdool and @mlutfy and @JoeMurray are you joining?

JoeMurray commented 2 years ago

We would be willing to help out some as we use the extension for a few clients, though we have been migrating lately to other services in some cases.

nganivet commented 2 years ago

Thank you @jaapjansma, tell me if you need anything on my end.

herbdool commented 2 years ago

I've got too much on my plate at the moment. I'll continue to make PRs or reviewing them when I can.

JoeMurray commented 2 years ago

If you could add JMA as maintainers after yourself, Jaap, that would be great.

jaapjansma commented 2 years ago

@herbdool thanks no problem.

@JoeMurray as soon as I am a (co-)maintainer I will add you.

@nganivet I have two questions for you:

  1. Can you add me to this repo as a maintainer? (with full rights)
  2. Shall I move this repo to https://lab.civicrm.org?
nganivet commented 2 years ago

Thanks @jaapjansma 1. is Done, and I would vote yes on 2 since it is now community maintained. @mlutfy, can you please facilitate migration to lab.civicrm.org?

jaapjansma commented 2 years ago

Thanks!

mlutfy commented 2 years ago

Here is the doc for moving from Github to Gitlab:

https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/extensions-directory/-/wikis/import-from-github (create a token, import to Gitlab, then ping me on mattermost's extension channel, or here)

jaapjansma commented 2 years ago

Thanks @mlutfy I have imported the project to https://lab.civicrm.org/jaapjansma/com-cividesk-email-sparkpost can you move it to https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/com.cividesk.email.sparkpost?

jaapjansma commented 2 years ago

The extension is moved to https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/sparkpost/
