I am trying to create a module to integrate design tokens with Drupal. I was planning to use this project namespace (https://www.drupal.org/project/design_tokens), but it seems it was already taken.

However, I can see that in more than 1 year and a half from its creation, there hasn't been any activity in here: no code uploaded, no issues created, no installs, no comments, no project description, etc. This qualifies as an empty project as per the guidelines in: https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/managing-a-drupalorg-theme-module-or...

This project looks like it didn't pan out in the end, for reasons unknown to me.

I reached out the maintainers via their contact form, about transferring ownership without a response, yet:

  • Leolando Tan (leolandotan) contacted on 28/05/2024
  • Mustafa Hajmohammed (mustafa.hajmohammed) contacted on 24/05/2024

Mustafa Hajmohammed (mustafa.hajmohammed) just replied to the email sent on 24/05/2024 agreeing to the transfer. He will take action shortly.

For the record, I reached out to Mustafa Hajmohammed (mustafa.hajmohammed) three more times after the comment above without a reply, so far.

I contacted the user:

Moved to the project ownership issue queue after 2 weeks without a response (even if this qualifies as an "empty" project).

The repository is empty, no commit has never been done, no description has been added to the project.
leolandotan logged in at least once in the past two months. I will contact him asking if there are plans to commit code in the next two weeks.

This is the message I sent to leolandotan.

Hello Leolando,

I am contacting you because Mateu (https://www.drupal.org/u/e0ipso) created an issue to take over Design Tokens (https://www.drupal.org/project/design_tokens), a project you created for which you are project owner and maintainer, to create a different project which uses the same namespace.

Since the project has been created more than a year ago, it does not have code, commits have never been done for that project, and the project page does not describe the project, we need to know if you plan to commit code for that project in the next 14 days.
May you post an answer on https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3450294? Please do not reply via email; we need a reply on the offer issue.
Without a comment posted on that issue in the next 14 days, Mateu will be probably made the new project owner and be able to commit the new project.

Neither project moderators nor site moderators will change the existing maintainers/co-maintainers.
The purpose of requests to take over a namespace is to commit code for a different project, not to create a Drupal 9/10 release of an existing project; the new project could even have a totally different purpose.

Best regards,
Alberto Paderno
-- Drupal.org project moderator
-- Drupal.org site moderator

I have not contacted mustafa.hajmohammed, since he is not the project owner. Furthermore, he last logged in one year and two months ago.

To make it clearer: I would not consider the intention to commit code in the next 30 days a reason sufficient not to transfer the project ownership, considering that the project node does not contain any information about the project.

Could this be a reason to speed up the process?

I already contacted leolandotan saying the project owner will be changed after 14 days. I cannot change project ownership before 14 days are passed, now.

What my previous comment meant is that procrastinating the project commits for other 30 days would not be acceptable, IMO. That does not mean that committing the project files (if there are project files to commit) between 14 days (or less) would not be acceptable. (I would still prefer getting a comment posted here before commits are done, thought.)

Hello.

It's been more than 14 days now. Did the maintainers respond to the queries?

Since no comment has been posted here from the project owner, I made e0ipso the new project owner.

Thanks @apaderno!

Is there any way to remove this reference?

avpaderno’s picture

There is no settings to remove Created by from the single projects.

e0ipso’s picture

Thanks @apaderno. Is there any way to update the Created by field to use my user instead?

avpaderno’s picture

It is not an entity field; it is output by a hook_node_view() implementation, like all the text that appears under Project information.

I apologize: I should have first said this and then that there is no project settings to avoid Created by is shown on projects. (As project moderator, I have access to the global project settings.)
