Hi, (I accidentally sent this to pytest-...@pytest.org rather than @python.org originally. It didn't bounce, but I have no idea where it went :D)
this is a difficult step to take, but during three sleepless nights because of health issues last week (don't worry, it's getting better now) I realized a lot of things (also see this thread on Twitter: [1]) [1] https://twitter.com/the_compiler/status/984356385214394368 I really wish GitHub had a way to subscribe to issue labels, but until that happens, I need to unsubscribe from pytest-dev/pytest (which is what I just did) - I'm spending too much time working on things in pytest I'm somewhat interested in, but not really passionate about. This is probably best explained with some back story: I got into pytest because I started using it with qutebrowser[2] (which is still my main OSS project), started contributing on plugins (mostly pytest-qt) because I was missing some features, and got into the pytest community. Somehow I ended up first getting regarded as a contributor, later as a core contributor (or maintainer) - while I still feel like I have no idea of pytest's code base :D [2] https://www.qutebrowser.org/ There's a list of things I'm still very much interested in - if something happens in those areas, please don't hesitate to contact/mention/request a review from me, I'd very much like to hear about those: - Giving trainings and talks (probably what I liked doing most so far!) - Anything related to user-facing changes: The API, output, etc. I am still an avid user of pytest, and thanks to trainings and other involvement feel like I have a picture of what other users want, too. - The community, which is awesome! I'll still stay on this mailinglist and the IRC channel, and I'd very much like to go to another development sprint in the future. - Testing (pre-)releases - Some plugins, especially pytest-qt - Any code I've written Things I'm explicitly not interested in (and where I never really did anything anyways): - Anything internal and complex in the codebase: Markers, fixtures, pytest.code, capturing, etc. etc. - you get the idea. I'd like to keep my maintainer/commit/whatever flag, and I might revisit this in 1-2 years, where I might have more time on my hand for open-source work. If there's consensus that I should drop it, I'm not going to say no either, though. (If you want to answer something along the lines of "get well soon" - those replies are very much appreciated, but please consider sending them to me directly instead of the mailinglist, to cut down "noise" for others) Florian -- https://www.qutebrowser.org | m...@the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | https://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | https://email.is-not-s.ms/
