Hi Paul,

PKG_MAINTAINER_HANDLE:=github: @joe; https://forum.openwrt.org/u/joe/

Plan B

co-opt existing PKG_MAINTAINER field, but perhaps it's possible?

e.g:

PKG_MAINTAINER:=Joe Bloggs <j...@example.com>, github: @Joe

I think for that you could use a Codeowners file.

Best,
Paul

In this case, what takes priority?

If both Codeowners and Makefile PKG_MAINTAINER exist, which is preferred? Do we only expect handles in Codeowners and PKG_MAINTAINER email in Makefile?

Codeowners lives side-by-side with Makefile or repo root?

I dislike information spread across several different places: it further behoves the hunt to track down relevant information.


Today to make a PR, I already have to spend five minutes chasing this info down if I want things to stand a chance of going smoothly, initially. This is friction for newcomers and for low-hanging-fruit fixes.

If all of the information is in one place, it's easy (easier).
