Hello world,
as some of you might have guessed, I plan to elect another
core
maintainer. Just like Gerhard is a dedicated Drupal 4.7
maintainer,
and Neil is a dedicated Drupal 5 maintainer, I'm looking for
a
dedicated Drupal 6 maintainer. This maintainer is only
allowed to
commit to the Drupal 6 branch (and to CVS HEAD until the
Drupal 6
branch is created). Remind that only Steven and myself can
commit to
all branches.
If you think you have what it takes to be a Drupal 6
maintainer, I'd
like to hear from you. Send me your application in
_private_ and we
can talk more. Note that I don't just pick anyone -- I only
pick
those who I have successfully worked with in the past, that
bring a
certain talent to the table (see http://buytaert.net/ne
il-drumm for
why I picked Neil), and whose vision aligns with my own.
Like it or
not.
Being a core maintainer is a significant commitment; it
takes a lot
of time/effort and this for a period of at least two major
release
cycles (i.e. 1-2 years). I'm sure that Neil and Gerhard can
assert
this so don't take this lightly. Reviewing patches is not
always the
most exciting job in the world either, however, defining the
future
of Drupal is. Part of your job will be to lead and guide
other
developers in this awesome adventure.
I don't want to discuss applications in public, so make sure
to send
them to me in private. Thanks!
