Open buro9 opened 9 months ago
Added @empijei and @FiloSottile to a new team, and set them as admins to the repo.
Note: There is zero expectation for them to do anything in the next several months, but this is just laying the ground for a handover. The repo will be gently neglected for the interim, but I (@buro9) will take CVEs very seriously if they arise before the handover.
This is a public declaration that I intend to pass control of bluemonday to new maintainers as of March / April (perhaps sooner).
The reasons for this are multiple:
I barely code now, the last 5+ years of my "career" have been predominantly spent in a management and leadership role, you are more likely to find me in a meeting, speaking to a customer, jumping on a plane, or going into a senior leadership call... I struggle to find time to code, and when I code it's usually for myself and not for an OSS project, I've also spent more time in other languages and feel Rusty about Go, I may be doing it wrong and no longer know.
I'm not meeting the expectations of you, the community, as I've been fairly opinionated about choosing an extremely secure position — IMHO this is right, but I'm not particularly aware of other workflows community members have and how to accommodate "I have this desire to run super old version, you must let me do this", I'm not even sure I should care, but I care as I care too much so it causes stress for me, it is very much https://xkcd.com/1172/
Why this post now?
Well the new maintainers aren't quite ready, and won't be until maybe March / April, but I have started cleaning up other things such as migrating all of the other repos out of https://github.com/microcosm-cc/ and off of GitHub, and so if people notice and this causes concern... do not be concerned, the new maintainers are good people and excellent engineers, if you're well connected to the Go community you likely already know them.
