Re: Adopt an addon

Hi Tom,

Thanks so much! Does it also mean that a maintainer can merge his own pull requests on a module, thereby do unreviewed development?
 
On this topic, the maintainer role description says "Maintainers may proceed to some maintenance operation with relaxed code review rules (e.g. performing simple, low risk, forward and backports, maintaining documentation, applying cosmetic improvements to the code such as linting). Maintainers are expected to follow the highest quality standard when performing such operations."

So yes, more freedom, but also more responsibilities :)

  • Adopt an addon
    Hi,

    As you may have noticed, our faithful bot is now calling for addon maintainers.

    When a contributor submits a pull request on an addon that does not have declared maintainers it emits a friendly comment suggesting the author to become a maintainer.

    As a reminder, the maintainer role is described at https://odoo-community.org/page/maintainer-role.

    In a nutshell it is a way to claim that you care about a particular module. This gives you some responsibilities, but also benefits such as receiving notifications when PRs are made on the modules you maintain, and the possibility to merge pull requests without being a full PSC member.

    A huge thank you to Lorenzo Battistini who contributed this feature to the OCA GitHub bot.

    Enjoy,

    -sbi
