Offering to maintain Views Bootstrap

These offers need to first be posted in the project issue queue, even in the case the offer is done by a co-maintainer.

Only mrded (the project owner) and aburrows can administer co-maintainers/maintainers. mrded has last logged in about two years ago.

@shelane You have been added as co-maintainer, not maintainer. For our official documentation that means a permission less than what a maintainer should have.
Did you give a link to this issue when you contacted the maintainers?

I apologize: You were already co-maintainer, since you made commits on Jun 08, 2023 and earlier.

I will contact both mrded, who logged in after my comment I posted on June 5, 2024, and aburrows.

This is the message I sent to mrded.

Hello Dmitry,

I am contacting you because Shelane (https://www.drupal.org/u/shelane), who is already co-maintainer offered to become maintainer for Views Bootstrap (https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bootstrap), a project you created for which you are project owner and maintainer.

May you post a comment on https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3452710 about accepting or declining the offer? Please do not reply via email; we need a reply on the offer issue. In the case you accept the offer, you can also give to Shelane the only permission she misses to be maintainer.
Without a comment posted on that issue in the next 14 days, Shelane will be probably made maintainer.

Neither project moderators nor site moderators will remove the existing maintainers/co-maintainers; the project owner will not be replaced either. Maintainers cannot change the project owner; co-maintainers/maintainers can only be removed/added by people who have the permission to administer co-maintainers/maintainers.

I am contacting all the people who can administer co-maintainers/maintainers for the project.

Best regards,
Alberto Paderno

The status has been changed because we are waiting for a reply.

(I am going to contact the second maintainer.)

Hi @shelane! Why do you need a full maintainership of Views Bootstrap? You already have all the possible permissions to the project.

shelane does not have the Administer maintainers permission which, despite its name, is necessary (together the Write to VCS permission) to be able to change the default branch (and other tasks I do not recall).

I do not know why shelane asked to have full permissions on the project. I just wanted to point out that, now that some tasks are only possible from the GitLab side, people will probably need to be maintainers (from the drupal.org side) to do tasks that before did not require to be maintainers.

I've granted this permission, however as mrded created the project its up to him to decide if it stays or doesn't.

@aburrows Thank you for your reply!

I agree: That is up to mrded.
