[NOMINATION][MAINTAINER]: arhimede, alexmerlin, MarioRadu, for maintaining laminas-api-tools

[arhimede]

Nomination

I'm nominating the following people to maintain laminas-api-tools:

• arhimede https://github.com/arhimede
• alexmerlin https://github.com/alexmerlin
• MarioRadu https://github.com/MarioRadu

As the discussion started in this PR https://github.com/laminas/technical-steering-committee/pull/134 , I would like to nominate a group of developers from DotKernel Organization in order to refactor and/or maintain laminas-api-tools and other new or current API related libraries.

• They have been working extensively with Laminas/Zend since Zend Framework 1.
• They have been contributing to various Zend Framework 1 libraries.
• Through their employment at Apidemia, they have been using Mezzio and Laminas tools from their inception, on a daily basis.
• They are up-to-date on API design best practices and guidelines.
• They have experience in understanding and satisfying the API requirements of clients through face-to-face interactions.
• They have an interest in fixing issues and implementing features, especially in the components which they use in their assigned projects, and are willing to invest time in doing so.

As discussed at the most recent TSC meeting (minutes not yet uploaded), the idea is a promising one and it was suggested that those nominated submit some PRs to the various laminas/mezzio repos. The intention with this is that it would:

• Allow us to get an impression of their work, and/or confirmation of their abilities
• Allow us to figure out a path forward on our side
• Allow those nominated to get accustomed with our processes (from GitHub Actions to Psalm Static Analysis)

After looking through the contribution history, I wasn't able to see anything outside of the dotkernel org, but if there are any could you mention this PR in those so we can track that here?

@internalsystemerror @Ocramius

Do you have any kind of guidance where to start with PR's ?

There are any specific issues or repos that need now fixes, new features and similar ?

We need a starting point :-)

I know quite a few repos still need upgrading to psalm 5. We use renovate to bump dependencies, opening a PR if they don't upgrade cleanly, so you can look for PRs with the renovate label to see which upgrades needs some work still.

Here's a list of all open PRs across laminas for reference: https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+archived%3Afalse+user%3Alaminas+sort%3Acreated-asc+user%3Amezzio+user%3Alaminas-api-tools+

Also each organisation will have a list of projects: https://github.com/orgs/laminas/projects?query=is%3Aopen

[alexmerlin]

Hey guys! I'm Alex, one of the DotKernel developers recommended to you by @arhimede. Just wanted to warm up with something light so I tried to make my first PR on laminas/laminas-json-server to fix some issues reported by Psalm. I created my own branch and when I try to push my modifications, I get the following error:

remote: Permission to laminas/laminas-json-server.git denied to alexmerlin. fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/laminas/laminas-json-server.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Should we be able to make PRs without being members of the Laminas Organization?

[MarioRadu]

Hello there! My name is Mario and I'm the other developer from DotKernel recommended by @arhimede. I've created a PR https://github.com/laminas/laminas-migration/pull/76 to fix some issues regarding Psalm checks.

[arhimede]

Me again .

My name is Julian, @arhimede , and i am from Dotkernel organisation.

I have created a PR https://github.com/laminas/laminas-paginator/pull/56 mostly to try the deployment process , also to fix Psalm checks.

[arhimede]

@alexmerlin @MarioRadu this issue is not actual anymore , since laminas api tools are in security-only mode. Let's open an separate issue for each of you , and do a separate PR in a repository that is marked as active, either in Mezzio or Components column from the status page https://getlaminas.org/packages-maintenance-status/
