Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.My name is Valery Lourie aka valthebald (https://drupal.org/u/valthebald)
I have submitted patches for data.module (7.x-1.x) in the past:
#1943094: [PATCH]Allow other modules define their own data types
#1952884: Fix integration with Field UI
I have a couple of Drupal 8 projects that can benefit from using data module, working with patches would be hard (at least, initially) due to huge differences in D8/D7 API.
Can you add me as a co-maintainer to the project?
I am going to perform initial (rough) upgrade using drupal console or drupalmoduleupgrader, and then use DrupalCon mentored sprints to work on fine-tuning

joachim commentedOk that's you added. Sorry for the delay -- the date of DrupalCon has crept up on me!
I'll add some standard advice here about Drupal Coding Standards (https://www.drupal.org/coding-standards), and the importance of always writing documentation with code, and also the standard format for commit messages (https://www.drupal.org/node/52287).
In general, it's good to aim for a review by another user before committing a patch, but I appreciate that Data module has quite a low userbase, and for D8 development that's even smaller. I'll try to take a look at how things are going from time to time if I can, but I have very little free time for coding these days, and that tends to be spent on Flag module.
Good luck with your sprinting at DrupalCon -- wish I could be there :)
