Charts: Call for maintainers for charts with no OWNERS

Created on 15 May 2019 · 31Comments · Source: helm/charts

Hello,

As maintaining this repository is growing harder by the day, this is a call for maintainers!

This issue is about 'recruiting' maintainers for charts that have no OWNERS file. The list of charts can be found at the end of this message.

If you wish to be added as a maintainer to one of the charts in this issue, please open a PR to add an OWNERS file, and add yourself to that OWNERS file.
In addition, maintainers in Chart.yaml and OWNERS should match.

We would suggest to include in the PR references to past contributions to the chart you are applying for.

If you are a planning to apply for being a maintainer and know someone who also fits this (and is interested) - feel free to approach them and include them!
we aim to have 2 maintainers per chart.

Once a PR exists, please add a comment referencing this issue, and ping one of the maintainers to get added as a read-only user to the helm/charts repository.

Thanks in advance to everyone who applies! We need your help.

All new OWNERS should be familiar with the following documents:
https://github.com/helm/charts/blob/master/REVIEW_GUIDELINES.md
https://github.com/helm/charts/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
https://helm.sh/docs/chart_best_practices/

What makes maintaining the repository difficult is also probably related to the fact that all the projects and their issues are mixed there. As a quite recent Helm user, I really dislike this!

@unguiculus told me once, that incubator repo should / will die in the future, as unfinished or untested charts should not be published at all, so imho these charts should rather be deleted or moved to stable with a version bump, instead of looking for a new maintainer.

Maybe it's also an idea to find people to be in the Github Helm organization / or in the root OWNERS file (https://github.com/helm/charts/blob/master/OWNERS) so they can help out everywhere without to be bound to a specific chart.

@monotek Well, it's not gonna die. I just prefer not to add new stuff there. IMO, we should try and promote existing charts to stable or deprecate them.

incubator/istio is deprecated according to their README.md users are encouraged to use https://github.com/istio/istio/tree/master/install/kubernetes/helm/istio from their repository instead.

incubator/oauth-proxy & stable/kube-lego are deprecated - I'd be inclined to think that several other of the charts in this list are already deprecated too

stable/gitlab-ce and stable/gitlab-ee are deprecated as well.

compleatang and k8s-ci-robot move burrow to stable repo (#3481)
Latest commit 0abd574 on 23 Mar 2018

I guess it should be deleted from the incubator path, then? And it can be removed from your list.

@maorfr I made a pretty basic script to get the current number of maintainers, so you don't need to rely on comments letting you know whenever someone is added/removed.

This is a sample out the output displaying the number of maintainers, approvers, and reviewers per chart.

@cristinanegrean, it'd be great if you could maintain stable/stackdriver-exporter, I could pitch in too.

At work I mostly end up using your version: https://github.com/cristinanegrean/charts/tree/master/stable/stackdriver-exporter

Also, great blog post: https://blog.trifork.com/2019/02/07/centralized-metrics-with-stackdriver-prometheus-exporter/
