Hi all, I'd like to gauge the PMC's and committers' appetite for adopting Apache Magpie in the JMeter repository.
What it is ---------- Apache Magpie is an ASF framework of "agent skills" -- structured, auditable workflows an AI coding agent (e.g. Claude Code) can run to assist maintainer and PMC tasks. It's a shared, versioned playbook for the project rather than each of us improvising prompts. What it offers (each maintainer picks what they use) ---------------------------------------------------- - PR queue: triage, code review with inline comments, quick-merge candidates, stats dashboards - Issues: triage, deduplication, stale sweeps, reproducers, backlog stats - Security: import/triage of reports, CVE-allocation helpers, tracker sync -- aligned with the ASF security process - Releases: RC cut, [VOTE] drafting and tally, promotion, [ANNOUNCE] drafts - Contributors: nomination briefs, good-first-issue sweeps, mentoring drafts Why it's low-risk ----------------- - Human-in-the-loop: nothing runs automatically. Each skill only *proposes*; a human confirms before any comment, merge, or commit. No bots posting on their own, no CI automation. - Small repo footprint: the framework is not vendored -- a gitignored snapshot is fetched on demand, and only a small "setup" skill plus a little config is committed. Full removal is a single command. - Local and credential-scoped: it runs inside each maintainer's own agent, under their own credentials. No shared service; no project data leaves where the maintainer controls it. I've prototyped the adoption on a branch: it works cleanly with our GitHub Issues, the dev@/private@ lists (via the ASF PonyMail archive), and the ASF CVE tooling. Before I open a PR, I wanted to check with you: are the PMC and committers OK with integrating Magpie (directly the Method 3 — git branch - main) ? Any concerns about the committed footprint, security, or governance are very welcome. I'll treat the usual lazy-consensus window (72h) as agreement, but I'd genuinely prefer to hear your thoughts. For me, Magpie can help to have more activities on JMeter, and help to prepare the next release. Reference: https://magpie.apache.org/ Thanks, Milamber
