We've actually done that already in the past, when the last release pre-dated the cutoff date I used to initialize the permission files: The requester told us they maintained the plugin back 2012, they'd like to get permissions back. Nobody else was around to tell us "no" (i.e. no other co-maintainers recorded), so it was just done. My main question here is how this would impact plugins with active maintainers. If you remove yourself from credentials plugin, it is currently considered to be maintained jointly by seven people. Do you expect to get permissions back without any approval from any of them, if you decide to? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
