[QGIS-Developer] Regular paid positions for PR reviews

[Alessandro Pasotti via QGIS-Developer]

Hi,

Recently I have had the opportunity to discuss with some core QGIS
developers and we agreed that it would be a good idea if the QGIS
organization could fund a few weekly or monthly hours for PR reviews.

Here is my quick and initial proposal of requisites for the candidates:

- must be an active well known and long time QGIS C++ core developer
(for example from the top last 5 years committers [1])
- ideally we'd need more than a single developer: there is not a
single developer who is able to review all different areas of the code
base
- available for regular work (fixed number of weekly or monthly hours,
to be determined)

Note: the above list is just my quick ideas, feel free to suggest
anything you think best.

 I would like this topic to be added to the next PSC meeting agenda.

Kind regards.

Dear Julien,

It is a pleasure for me to work on the project.
I’ve created a 
QEP that 
summarizes this discussion. As suggested, I think we can go forward with the 
non-blocking warning for now and implement licensing requirements on schedule. 
I'll be creating a documented PR for this fix shortly.

Best regards,
Lova

Hello,

Thanks again for the technical work and improving the workflow.

+1 for the lazy consensus on non breaking changes.

Regarding the license topic:

+1 for the metadata field with a spdx license. But take care, it's not so easy 
to a have an exhaustive list. Maybe we should move to the PyPi classifiers 
since plugins are Python packages and there is already a work on maintaining a 
metadata ecosystem, including tooling to check it (pip install packaging).

Are we okay with the step back to only a non-blocking warning?

Regards

Hello everyone,

Thank you all. It's truly an honor to work on this project.
I will begin by utilizing QEP to create a QEP that summarizes this discussion 
and going forward with the suggestion to make the license file recommended for 
now.

I have reviewed the tickets in the backlog and will evaluate their size. If I 
come across anything that I don't understand, I will add comments to seek 
clarification.

Best regards,
Lova

Hi Tim,

For the workflow, that sounds great, thanks a lot!
I agree only breaking changes should go "the long way" and for simple fixes and 
improvements we should just get them done with low overhead.
