Note that the current process requires the maintainer to be CC’d, so you need not actually be subscribed to any list at all, and some people’s mail filters/clients will highlight messages with an direct CC. > The current plugin maintainer will receive an e-mail from JIRA. … > If the plugin owner does not respond to the JIRA ticket within 3 weeks > (enough time to cover reasonable vacation time, sick time, emergency) I make no claims to be representative, but for what it’s worth I am likely to see a message CC’d to me on the dev list within a day at the most, whereas a mention in JIRA goes to the bucket of >1000 unread notifications. (Maybe that just means I should not be the maintainer of anything!) Basically: having a clear way to track the status of an adoption request seems like a good step, and keeping detailed discussions in JIRA is fine too, but I think we should we using all available channels to grab the attention of an existing maintainer, even if that results in a bit more traffic on the dev list. It is not uncommon for third parties to take an interest in an adoption request anyway—they may have better information on who is active on the plugin, or want to help out themselves, or could warn the potential adopter about reasons why the plugin might be obsolete and to not waste time on it. ¹ https://github.com/jenkinsci/jep/blob/master/jep/1/README.adoc#jep-types -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
