Lots of unanswered merge requests #642

Closed asarhaddon closed 1 month ago

asarhaddon commented 1 year ago

Hello. Sorry to open an issue for this, but this seems the only way in github.

A lot of merge requests have been pending for at more than a year. Among them, some are trivially correct, or completely out of the subject.

@kanaka do you still have interest and time for this project? Is there a way contributors can help?

Hi @asarhaddon. Sorry for the absence. I should have more communicative to let everyone know that I wouldn't be able to spend any time on the project for a while (I thought it would be a few months but it turned into years 😧). The main burden for me was that I was in the loop whenever a new implementation was submitted or Dockerfiles were updated. But I think I've gotten the CI process into a better shape so that it will automatically build docker images (and if running in the context of kanaka/mal then it will push/cache them to ghcr.io). This should greatly reduce the burden of reviewing and merging changes. I'm going to add a PR checklist/template and update some of the docs so that it's more clear exactly and obvious what needs to be done to get in new implementations merged.

I'll be working through your various remaining PRs too in the next couple of days. Can you rebase any outstanding PRs on the current head so that I can review them without having to pull things onto local branches? Thanks!
