(WIP) package-ownership - idea/strategy/approach

[tunnckoCore]

Goal

• simple, easy, modern
• promise & callback api
• command line support

  Features

• add npm rights to user for package
• add npm rights to all organization members for package
  • should can exclude usernames
• remove rights of user for package
• remove rights of all org members for pkg
  • remove rights only of given usernames

    Possible strategies/approaches

    Strategy One (very bad, many possible issues)

• loop over all org repos
• getting package name from package.json
• search over npm registry
• getting package owner
• add this user to the given pkg owners

Its not sure/guaranteed 1) that all org members would have repos in the org; 2) all org members would have npm packages!! 3) or even npm accounts

Strategy Two (better?)

• provide option for giving json/cson/yaml/xml (config) containing all org member's npm accounts
• could be possible option to give url to this config
• should have one default path/repo/config (AUTHORS/MAITAINERS, etc)
• e.g github.com/orgName/meta/owners.json
• e.g github.com/regexps/meta/owners.txt (per line basis or comma-separated?)
• or npm package returning module.exports = [user, names, here]
• loop over this config
• download package with tunnckoCore/gitclone (github) or tunnckoCore/package-clone (npm)
• run npm owner add <username> - for every in loop
• delete package
