Problem/Motivation

The mimemail module continues to be relevant to the Drupal community. Over 20,000 sites use the 8.x-1.x version, per https://www.drupal.org/project/usage/mimemail .

As indicated in multiple issues (#3504194: Plan for 2.x release?, #3489250: plan for Drupal 11 release?), the module creator is seeking community support for this project. I therefore volunteer myself to be a new co-maintainer.

I currently am maintainer on 26 projects (https://www.drupal.org/u/mark_fullmer) and continue to be active in the Drupal community, as shown by issue credits during the past year (https://www.drupal.org/u/mark_fullmer/issue-credits?field_issue_last_sta...).

Based on comments in issues referenced above, I understand the community and creator's priorities for this module to be:

1. Add test coverage in order to provide a stable release
2. Triage and resolve the issues marked as "Critical": https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/mimemail?text=&status=Open&priorit...
3. Provide a Drupal 11-compatible release.

I appreciate the maintainer's consideration for co-maintainership.

58,662 sites report using this module.
I assume that mimemail blocks a lot of upgrades to Drupal 11.
+1 for adding a co-maintainer.

Project: Mime Mail » Drupal.org project ownership
Version: 2.0.x-dev »
Component: Miscellaneous » Maintaining offer

Per https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/managing-a-drupalorg-theme-module-or... , this issue has remained in the project issue queue for more than 14 days without a response from the maintainer.

The maintainer responded to the community need in https://www.drupal.org/project/mimemail/issues/3504194#comment-16111148 , suggesting openness to co-maintainership, but has not communicated since 16 May 2025.

I am therefore transferring this issue to "Drupal.org project ownership."

The project link is https://www.drupal.org/project/mimemail.

The only person who has the Administer maintainers permission is tr, who logged in at least once in the past six month. I am going to contact him.

Hello Tim,

I am contacting you because Mark (https://www.drupal.org/u/mark_fullmer) offered to become co-maintainer for Mime Mail (https://www.drupal.org/project/mimemail), a project for which you are project owner and maintainer.

May you post a comment on https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3524942 about accepting or declining the offer? 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, Mark will be probably made co-maintainer.

Project moderators will not 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.

As last note: This offer is about being co-maintainer, which is different from being a maintainer. A co-maintainer is a person who does not have all the drupal.org permissions on a project. Even though being co-maintainers could mean having just a single permission, we expect a co-maintainer to have the following permissions on the project: Write to VCS, Edit project, Maintain issues, Administer releases.
If there is any reason for not giving all those permissions, please explain that on https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3524942. We need this to know it was intentional and not a misunderstanding on what the offer required.

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

The status is Postponed because we are waiting for a reply.

Please post a comment after 14 days, if your offer has not been declined. It will show you are still interested in maintaining this project and it will serve as reminder an action is required for this offer.

As it has been more than 14 days, I am posting a comment to indicate that I am still interested in maintaining this project. Thanks!
