Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
What the heck, I'll open a new issue specifically for this, rather than derailing other threads :)

cweagansPreeeeetty sure this isn't going to happen. I floated this idea by webchick a couple years ago, with the addition of letting core module maintainers *actually maintain their modules*. She said something to the effect of "core release management is hard enough. why would we break it up into n different queues, make issues even harder to find, and make the release process more painful than it needs to be?"
I tend to agree with her on this. It's just not worth the trouble.

I guess this hinges on my wider evil plan of proof-of-concepting the use of connector module to hook up Drupal.org accounts to github user accounts to drive repo infrastructure. The @-mention and notification system over there are critical to a split making sense.
#1746386: Github support
I respectfully disagree with the "not worth the trouble" part, but totally understand why you'd feel that way.

cweagansIMO, we should just move to github and be done with it. At that point, maybe it makes more sense to split core modules into separate projects or whatever, but I'm definitely -1 to doing that while our code still lives on Drupal.org.

Hearing something like this makes me all the more excited to figure out a github solution. Glad you're amenable to that part
