chore: remove all contributors #286

Closed anuragxxd closed 6 months ago

anuragxxd commented 6 months ago

Description

This issue removes all contributors from the repo. Currently, this feature is not actively utilized, and maintaining it adds unnecessary overhead. The list of contributors is already provided by GitHub in repo itself.

Possible solution(s)

Additional context

Hi @anuragxxd , Can you please provide more details regarding this?

anuragxxd commented 6 months ago

Thank you @psankhe28 for your interest. This issue is currently in the triage stage and hasn't been confirmed for development yet.

@uniqueg might have more insights on this since he set up the all-contributors system. While I don't believe keeping all-contributors is strictly required, I understand the rationale behind it – in that case this issue could potentially involve fixing aspects related to all contributors.

Thanks @anuragxxd! I very much like the idea of All Contributors, which is much more inclusive and fine-grained compared to the list that is automatically maintained by GitHub. However, I also acknowledge that it's not sustainable as long as we don't automate its use (e.g., via bots that recognize participation through posting of issues, PRs, discussions etc).

So yes, a bit sad to see it go, but given that it's not a priority right now to work out its automation, it's probably best to remove it - at least for now.

Not quite sure how to remove it. Maybe removing the ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST from this file is all it takes?

I guess so some more places I found:

Turn off the all contributors bot on github too. @uniqueg maybe you can turn that off here https://github.com/elixir-cloud-aai/cloud-components/settings/installations.
This file too here.

@psankhe28 if you want you can remove these files & revalidate if there are any other places all-contributors exist & make a PR.

Sure, I will work on it.
