Problem/Motivation

It has been about 1 year since last review of mentoring coordinators section of MAINTAINERS.txt by #2900394: Update mentoring coordinators section of MAINTAINERS.txt. We should regularly confirm with current mentoring coordinators and make sure we recognize de-facto mentoring coordinators who lead and organize Drupal mentoring.

Proposed resolution

1. Ask all people currently listed as core mentoring coordinators:

- Mauricio Dinarte 'dinarcon' https://www.drupal.org/u/dinarcon
- Lucas Hedding 'heddn' https://www.drupal.org/u/heddn
- Rachel Lawson 'rachel_norfolk' https://www.drupal.org/u/rachel_norfolk
- Valery Lourie 'valthebald' https://www.drupal.org/u/valthebald
- Jess 'xjm' https://www.drupal.org/u/xjm
- Matthew Radcliffe 'mradcliffe' https://www.drupal.org/u/mradcliffe

2. Move people who have stepped down, to the past maintainers page

3. Remove people who have stepped down from MAINTAINERS.txt

4. Add new de-facto coordinators: Tara King, Elli Ludwigson (did I miss someone? please add).

Remaining tasks

  • Ask current maintainers what is their actual status with the core mentoring program
  • Create patch
  • Update past maintainers page

I asked sparklingrobots and ekl1773 about this a couple of weeks ago who tentatively agreed, and valthebald also contributed about a yearly review issue in chat (Drupal Slack).

ekl1773 (Elli) has been coordinating mentoring at events as a mentor and mentor of mentors, and has been a part of re-energizing mentoring initiatives in the last year.

sparklingrobots (Tara) has been coordinating mentoring as part of the Drupal Diversity & Inclusion (DDI) group to create regular mentoring in both core, contrib. and Drupal site building efforts and serving as mentor of mentors in DDI.

I’m very happy to add both to the list. I know decisions like this are correct when I look at the names and think “how are they not already there??”

+1

+1 for adding both! Also, would be great to have general policy (not only about mentoring initiative) - I guess there is some "seasonal" rotation in other sections of MAINTAINERS.txt? With well-predictable release policy, would it make sense to revise core maintainers twice a year, before the next minor release?

Patch applies cleanly, thanks Valery. Have we checked if any current coordinator is stepping down? Otherwise, this is RTBCed.

Version: 8.6.x-dev » 8.7.x-dev

Drupal 8.6.0-alpha1 will be released the week of July 16, 2018, which means new developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted against the 8.7.x-dev branch. For more information see the Drupal 8 minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 release cycle.

I don't mind staying on the list as I plan to help at the next DC in North America. But also don't mind stepping down as I haven't been very active for quite some time.

I am planning to continue helping for the year ahead so I could stay on the list.

I’d like to stay on, too, please. Been a bit overloaded this first half of the year to really do all that much but that can’t last forever... (please, tell me it can’t!)

Current mentoring coordinators are ok to remain on the list. We agree to add Tara King and Elli Ludwigson. Congrats and thank you both! Patch applies cleanly. This is RTBC. :)
