⚠️ The Gorilla Toolkit is Looking for a New Maintainer

elithrar opened this issue · 2 comments

The Gorilla Toolkit is looking for a new maintainer (or maintainers, plural). As the last standing maintainer of the project, I no longer have time to fully dedicate to maintaining the libraries.

The major libraries — mux (https://github.com/gorilla/mux), schema (https://github.com/gorilla/schema), handlers (https://github.com/gorilla/handlers), and sessions (https://github.com/gorilla/sessions) — are all reasonably mature libraries, but ongoing stewardship around bug triage, feature enhancements, and potential "version 2.0s" are all possibilities.

  • Have a demonstrated history of OSS contributions. This is important, as you need to be trustworthy: no maintainer is better than an adversarial maintainer!
  • Ideally, you actively contribute for 3-6 months, I merge after you review, and you gain the commit bit on the relevant repos after that period and/or active engagement on your part.
  • I transition you to admin of the project.

Note: I don't expect this to be quick or easy - the websocket library, with 16k stars & 15k unique clones per week, has been looking for a new maintainer 3.5+ years, and has yet to have anyone reliably stick. If I don't have any luck finding new maintainer(s) in the next 6 months or so, it's likely I'll mark these projects as in maintenance mode only and archive the repos.

Please keep the replies on-topic.
