Hey all. when thinking about importing the PouchDB code into the ASF via moving the repo over to the apache/ organisation on GitHub, I came across one step that we have not considered yet.
About moving repos, the GitHub docs state the following: > The original owner of the repository is added as a collaborator on the > transferred repository. Other collaborators to the transferred repository > remain intact. We currently have collaborators on the PouchDB repo that either have not yet made the move to the ASF or won’t ever do it. It’d be easy to just remove those folks as collaborators prior to moving the repo. Getting removed from a repo without separate communication is not great form, so I suggest to open an issue on the PouchDB repo and tag everyone that is not making the immediate jump (they can always jon the ASF side of things later) with the following message: > Der current PouchDB collaborators, > > As [discussed in issue 8999](https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues/8999) > and [subsequent paperwork on the > ASF-side](https://lists.apache.org/thread/z6slrvwvmvh45n8tf34qsqr9m28rokdq), > the PouchDB project is joining the ASF incubator. > > The initial move is coordinated by [a group of currently active > collaborators](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/PouchDB+Proposal#:~:text=%23%23%23%20Initial%20Committers). > Due to the way the ASF works, we will have to drop all other collaborators > from the project. > > This affects anyone who is actively mentioned in this issue. Once the > migration has finished, anyone can re-join the project through ASF channels. > If you don’t want to re-join, there is nothing you need to do. > > The PouchDB project would like to extend its gratitude towards all current > collaborators for their contributions. If nobody objects, I’ll post this shortly. Best Jan —
