I'm trying to identify documentation that could be helpful for someone who'd like to volunteer to become a "maintainer" for something, but I am not seeing anything quite like what I have in mind. Without needing to be too specific, I guess I was expecting to find something that explains expectations on our side, what are some prerequisites, who to reach to to get support, etc.
Topic on Talk:Developers/Maintainers
(pinging @AKlapper (WMF), even.)
I'm not sure if there is anything maintainer specific that's not also generally developer specific (or covered per case, e.g. expressing interest in taking over unmaintained codebases etc)? Do you have anything in mind?
Yes. Taking over an unmaintained codebase. Where would I send someone with such good intentions?
My closest bet is Gerrit/Privilege policy listed on Development guidelines. Though it might not be obvious or explicit enough?
I don't know. I'll recommend that link, and then probably the support desk for any other needs. Thanks.
Hmm, I wouldn't have initially thought of the Support Desk as that's for dealing with the MediaWiki software in my understanding, but more like Communication for general orientation and coming from there probably going to wikitech-l@ mailing list :)
