GitHub user Xuanwo edited a discussion: discussion: Donation of `reqsign`
Hello, everyone. I'm starting this thread about donating [`reqsign`](https://github.com/Xuanwo/reqsign) to the OpenDAL project, and `reqsign` will be governed by the OpenDAL PMC. ## Context `reqsign` is the rust lib that signing API requests without effort. It's one of the core dependencies of OpenDAL that helps build signatures for object storage services like S3, AzBlob, GCS, OSS, COS, and more. It is very important and crucial that any changes or bugs in ReqSign will immediately affect OpenDAL. It could completely break OpenDAL if there is a lack of development. `reqsign` is currently maintained by @Xuanwo, one of the OpenDAL PMC Member. Nearly all `reqsign` contributors are also OpenDAL contributors. ## Motivation By accepting `reqsign`, we can grow the community under the governance of the OpenDAL PMC and attract more contributors to join the development. This also eliminates the risk of reqsign becoming inactive after @xuanwo leaves. ## Plan My current plan is to transfer `reqsign` to `opendal-reqsign`. After this change, `reqsign` will become the first sub-project of opendal. It will retain its existing versions, but with a clear statement that they are not ASF releases. `reqsign` will have its own release cycle. The OpenDAL PMC will become an umbrella for `reqsign`, and I expect `reqsign` will graduate as a TLP once it's mature enough. ## History We used to discuss this at [[DISCUSS] Donation of reqsign to opendal](https://lists.apache.org/thread/5h9cl83c6bod77s6nc31875wlhz9k5jt) GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/opendal/discussions/5291 ---- This is an automatically sent email for dev@opendal.apache.org.
