As part of our continuing efforts to manage Drupal 8+ for each release, we're trying to make sure that every current Drupal core component has at least one active comaintainer. The first step is to identify component maintainers for those components that don't already have one listed.

Component not listed

  1. datetime_range.module

Component listed with no maintainer

  1. asset library system
  2. base system
  3. batch system
  4. bootstrap system
  5. browser system
  6. cron system
  7. postgresql db driver
  8. sqlite db driver
  9. extension system
  10. install system
  11. lock system
  12. mail system
  13. request processing system
  14. routing system
  15. token system
  16. action.module
  17. ban.module
  18. content_translation.module
  19. filter.module
  20. help.module
  21. menu_ui.module
  22. node system
  23. options.module
  24. system.module
  25. views_ui.module
  26. workspaces.module
  27. Stable theme
  28. Starterkit theme
  29. composer
  30. user interface text
  31. documentation
  32. other

There are also a few modules with outdated maintainers. Really, we need to go through all the maintainers in MAINTAINERS.txt and see:
- if they are willing to fulfill the role
- if they are actually fulfilling the role

For instance, I know that search.module has a maintainer listed who has not done anything for that module in a couple of years, and I've been unable to get my supposed co-maintainers for the Transliteration component to review my patches, despite repeated inquiries (and without anyone to review patches I may be unwilling to continue as maintainer of that component either).

I also just marked #2042309: MAINTAINERS.txt does not have entry for several modules as a duplicate of this issue, since this one is more complete, better organized, etc.

Thanks @jhodgdon! We actually have plans to contact every single component maintainer listed to get the file up to date, but that's something we want to do directly first (rather than over the issue queue). But it's something I've been working on for the past week or so. Watch for an email. :)

Looks like XML-RPC is listed as a "system" instead of a module in the component listing and in MAINTAINERS.txt, which is why it looks like it's unlisted. @fgm is the maintainer there. Does XML-RPC have component-level stuff in core as well, or is it all contained in the module? If the latter, we should rename the component and fix MAINTAINERS.txt.

I've been wanting to #445990-24: [META] Refactor color module for a while now. Granted I know it probably won't change in D8 at all since there's really no time. But I'd be willing to take it on so we can move forward in D9.

@quietone: I am the subsystem maintainer for the Database API. AFAIK that also makes me the maintainer of the MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite modules. Only on your updated list the PostgreSQL and SQLite database drivers are marked as "no listed maintainer". Do I need to create an issue to aslo become the maintainer of those modules? BTW, the database drivers now live in modules. Should the maintainers.TXT file be updated for that?

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
