Hello everyone (but especially package maintainers),

please note that Fedora Packager Dashboard currently has no maintainers,
and the service breaks more and more over time. If the Packager Dashboard
brings you value, please consider whether you can help maintain it. That
doesn't necessarily mean development, just making sure it stays up and
small occasional bitrot issues are fixed is a great help.

== What is the Packager Dashboard? ==

If you don't know Packager Dashboard, it shows lots of interesting
information about the packages that you own in Fedora, e.g. Bugzilla
tickets (with highlighted CVEs and FTBFS), Bodhi updates, distgit PRs, the
current release schedule timeline, etc. Everything is structured
per-package. You can access it at:
https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/

Here's a short populated example for adamwill's dashboard:
https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/dashboard?users=adamwill
and here's much more complex and populated example for frantisekz's
dashboard:
https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/dashboard?users=frantisekz

You can modify the URL the see anyone's dashboard (please note that a first
display for a particular user takes a longer time, because the values are
not cached).

== Maintenance details ==

The Packager Dashboard is just a simple presentation UI, but most of the
heavy-lifting is performed by Oraculum, that pulls data from different
sources. So maintaining Packager Dashboard means maintaining both projects.

We've recently moved both projects from Pagure to Forge, under the
Infra-maintained "apps" organization:
https://forge.fedoraproject.org/apps/packager_dashboard
https://forge.fedoraproject.org/apps/oraculum

That doesn't mean that Fedora Infra will maintain the apps, though. We see
considerable value in the Packager Dashboard, that's why we moved it, but
it still needs new maintainers. That's why I'm writing this email. We need
to see if there are any volunteers willing to help, or if the service
should be dropped. Furthermore, we're not even sure how many package
maintainers know about this dashboard (because it's not promoted much), and
how many consider it very useful and beneficial (or if it's just a minor
help and people won't care if it goes away). Your feedback on these
questions is also very welcome.

Thank you.
