Why do you think that is?
Because people's availability comes and goes, and putting it on one
person causes things to get omitted. I'd prefer to do a regular review
of all plugins (say, for the board report) to assess health, necessity
of release, etc.
People will always come and go but some people are willing to steward a
particular plugin. If there ends up not being those people then that's
fine. But I would hope some people care enough. They can always work
with the group of interested people and person who wants to steward will
most likely shift over time. If someone wants to take charge and apply
patches and do releases and assign themselves the lead then they should
go for it. I don't see it as an ownership thing, I see it as a
stewardship thing.
Irrespective of that I agree that some form of review should be done.
All the information required for the view we should be able to glean
from the stock of information we have. Release dates can be picked off
(if not easily now, then we can make it easier using the repo manager),
issues closed for releases, stagnant issues or whatever else.
I think I'd prefer to see a list of people interested in a plugin (ie
using it and contributing - the developers list could be used) so we
have a number of people for each that can be pinged about where it is at.
Definitely. I think the plugin matrix can be entirely generated and
there's no reason why we can incorporate the developer/contributor
information in that report so those people are accessible.
I think both can be updated automatically. I'll try it later on tonight.
Thanks for doing that.
