Hi everyone,
We have now implemented the idea of Owners Emeritus and Peers Emeritus
for Mozilla modules. ("Emeritus" is a Latin word which is used in
English to indicate people who no longer do a job, but are marked as
having done the job in the past. It's an honourary position.)
We have implemented this in a fairly simple way - the module description
template used on the Modules pages on the wiki now has the option to
specify lists of owners emeritus (key: "ownersemeritus") and peers
emeritus (key: "peersemeritus"), and these will then show up in the
module description. See the example here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Template:Module
For verifiability and as a cross-check, only existing owners or
already-listed emeritus owners should change these two lists. People
should not add themselves.
For owners emeritus, you may want to put the range of dates during which
they were the owner; that is optional. It is probably better not to put
contact information (mailto: link or Mozillians link) as you would with
active owners and peers, to prevent owners emeritus and peers emeritus
being bothered by people who don't understand the distinction.
We hope this simple system will work OK; please report any problems with
it to me.
Module owners should feel free, either on their own initiative or when
prompted by such a person, to add the previous owners and/or peers of
their modules to the relevant module template. Remember that this is a
factual status and is not conditional on performance. I've opened a pull
request to add documentation for these new statuses to the Mozilla website:
