#474: Sidekick - some packages need co-maintainers -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: ribeiro | Status: new Type: | Keywords: New badge idea | Has a description: 0 Priority: | Artwork status: None minor | External requirements: Has a name: | Triaged (triagers only): 0 0 | Concept approved (reviewers only): | 0 | Badge definition status: | None | Manually awarded: | 0 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Badge description: "You became a co-maintainer of a package with less than 3 co-maintainers or of a branch with a single commiter"
activities:
1) What are those activities? Becoming a co-maintainer of a package
2) Who is doing them? Packagers, usually the new packagers.
3) Why are they doing them? The idea is to facilitate the entrance and guidance of new packagers by following these guidelines https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_encouraging_comaintainers_of_packa...
4) When do they do them? Whenever they want to get more involved into packaging without the need of packaging new software
5) How do they do them? For now, they would have to look for packages matching the criteria in pkgdb and convince the package admins to let them co-maintain the pkg. I am preparing an app to list those packages :)
Lastly, do you have any ideas for artwork concepts?
I believe 'sidekick' (as in a hero's sidekick, like Robin [batman]) is a good name for it. Maybe we could have 2 pandas, one with a cape and one with a mask or sth like that :)
I also believe we could have sidekick I, II and III for 1, 5 and 10 co- maintained packages. We want to keep those numbers low -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_encouraging_comaintainers_of_packa...
