Hmm, yeah, it looks the PR linked to this issue never got any feedback from the blackbox_exporter maintaners. This sometimes happens. Maintainers are just humans, and sometimes they drop their activity level. > I would like to revive the work on addressing this issue and am willing to > contribute both code and design proposals. > > Do you have any advice on how to get such stalled feature proposals going > again? It depends why it stalled. Sometimes features are controversial, in which case it is better to first get some consensus from the maintainers or the wider community that the feature is wanted (and in which way). For involved things, this might require a formal proposal AKA design doc via https://github.com/prometheus/proposals . However, in simpler cases, the person working on it initially just didn't have the time to finish it, in which case you could just pick up the work. In other cases, the effort stalled because there was no feedback from the maintainers (the current case smells like that, but there might be context that we cannot see from the GH issue and PR). In this case, I would try to get in touch with the maintainers and find out if it was just an oversight or there were concerns from their side (ask them directly on the GH issue, with @-mentions, and if that doesn't help, using channels like this mailing list or the #prometheus-dev channel on the CNCF Slack might help). -- Björn Rabenstein [PGP-ID] 0x851C3DA17D748D03 [email] bjo...@rabenste.in -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Developers" group.
