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. -- Kamil Paral (he/him/his) Fedora Quality
