<br>
As discussed in the last community meeting [1], we are considering addition of sub-maintainers to GlusterFS. The intent of this activity is to streamline our patch management and make it more scalable.<br>
<br>
The responsibilities of sub-maintainers would include:<br>
<br>
1. Overall patch management of designated components.<br>
<br>
2. Ownership of designated components<br>
- be responsible for overall quality of the components<br>
- work with upstream release maintainers for ensuring right content in releases<br>
- work with the broader community on resolving issues in the designated components<br>
<br>
Avati and me have attempted to arrive at a tentative list of sub-maintainers. The selection of these folks has been primarily based on:<br>
<br>
a> Code contributions to respective areas over a period of time<br>
b> Community interactions<br>
c> Effectiveness in code reviews<br>
<br>
Here is the tentative list of sub-maintainers:<br>
<br>
|-----------------------------<u></u>-----|------------------------<u></u>----------------------|<br>
|component(s) | maintainer(s) |<br>
|-----------------------------<u></u>-----|------------------------<u></u>----------------------|<br>
|cli & glusterd | Krishnan Parthasarathy & Kaushal Madappa |<br>
|-----------------------------<u></u>-----|------------------------<u></u>----------------------|<br>
|afr & locks | Pranith Kumar Karampuri |<br>
|-----------------------------<u></u>-----|------------------------<u></u>----------------------|<br>
|rpc, rdma, socket | Raghavendra Gowdappa |<br>
|-----------------------------<u></u>-----|------------------------<u></u>----------------------|<br>
|geo-replication, changelog, cdc | Venky Shankar |<br>
|-----------------------------<u></u>-----|------------------------<u></u>----------------------|<br>
|quota | Raghavendra Gowdappa |<br>
|-----------------------------<u></u>-----|------------------------<u></u>----------------------|<br>
|nfs | Niels de Vos |<br>
|-----------------------------<u></u>-----|------------------------<u></u>----------------------|<br>
<br>
By no means this list is exhaustive - this is a first cut and the selection of components has been on areas where we currently see significant patch activity. We will continue to identify such areas and propose new maintainers at appropriate junctures. Me and Avati will manage patches as before for the overall codebase but our focus could be on areas that do not have designated sub-maintainers. We will also be available for any arbitration that might be required.<br>
<br>
We plan to perform update gerrit to provide access to sub-maintainers by end of this week (i.e. 4th May). If you have any objections, concerns or feedback on this process, please feel free to provide that before then on this thread or to me in person.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Vijay<br>
