Re: PSC responsabilities

Hello, thank you for doing this analysis. In the same ideia, I think we should somewhat promote the module maintainers. And the same logic could apply: if module maintainers don't do their job during a reasonable amount of time (like no module review during 18 months? 12 months?) then IMHO they should lose their maintainers status and other maintainers should be promoted. Yes, at the moment people don't participate too much because this is mostly a burden. However it's expected the OCA keeps growing and eventually by highlighting better modules authors and maintainers we manage to make it a little bit more attractive without spoiling it (cause yes there are already people doing astroturfing in the OCA sadly).

  • PSC responsabilities
    Hi everyone,

    I was preparing this year Ranking of contributors and I am concerned on some information I found when crossing this data with PSCs.

    I found several PSCs that are not involved into their respective repositories. For example, I found a PSC team that has 5 members, 3 of them participated in 1% of the PR, on of them on the 15% and the last one on 98%. The repository was big (more than 400 PR on one year). In other examples, the PSC only participated in their team PRs.

    Even in my case, I think I need to improve my collaboration as a PSC.

    I think we need to improve this situation as a Community, otherwise, people will loose faith in the PSCs and how OCA works. Some ideas I can think about:

    - Control PSCs on big repositories (it is hard to set a proper KPI on small repos)
    - Demote PSCs that are not contributing properly according to this KPIs
    - Review this KPIs yearly
    - Split bigger PSCs in order to avoid too much work
    - Avoid people to be PSC of more than 3 big PSC Teams
    - Give PSCs some extra benefits (lower fees on OCA days, special t-shirts...)
    - Give PSCs recognition of their work (easy to say, hard to think about it)

    Maybe I am dramatic here, but I think it is important. WDYT? Shall we do something about it?

    Kind regards,
