Nixpkgs: RFC 55 - Remove inactive Nixpkgs

Created on 25 May 2020 · 20Comments · Source: NixOS/nixpkgs

As part of RFC55 we move inactive members of the "Nixpkgs Committers team" to the "Nixpkgs Committers Emeritus" (not created yet). The migration will happen on the 25th June.

These are the inactive accounts according to https://github.com/nix-community/rfc55:

@aycanirican commits
@bluescreen303 commits
@dezgeg commits
@GrahamcOfBorg commits
@kosmikus commits
@lovek323 commits
@matejc commits
@nckx commits
@ocharles commits
@Phreedom commits
@rushmorem commits
@the-kenny commits
@ts468 commits
@viric commits
@vrthra commits
@wkennington commits

To retain access we need at least one contribution until then.

I've removed myself from nixpgs-committers since I won't be committing any time soon, but who knows what the future will bring. Please sign me up for the emeritus newsletter & free hat.

I could not find an email address for @ts468.

I will send out emails to each affected account later this day.

@grahamc Can we move @GrahamcOfBorg to https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/teams/nixpkgs-maintainers As far as I know members of this group can also do labels and request reviews.

@Mic92 @GrahamcOfBorg needs write access to be able to push status checks.

ok. I planned to ignore ofborg account anyway. It just came up as an inactive account.

@Mic92 I presume the hash.domains address listed for @ts468 in the maintainer list is not functional?

viric and aycanirican have pushed since, and can be removed from the list.

@Mic92 It's been a month, could you please cause the new team to be created? (My IRC setup is currently broken)

They are still welcome to contribute to the project.

I'm still here :smile: But yes, I am "inactive" generally, and am ok with being moved.

I apologize for the inactivity, life took a rather busy turn, and could not focus more on Nix as much as I wanted to. I am OK with being removed.

@domenkozar @edolstra I don't have the rights to setup this group. Could you move those accounts to the right team?

Mic92 on 25 Aug 2020

I've created https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/teams/nixpkgs-committers-emeritus/members and invited everyone there. Going to now delete them from committers list.

domenkozar on 26 Aug 2020

Done. I suggest this is automated via github actions.

Since we do this every year only it would take a while until the automation pays off I suppose. I also don't know if github has API for those permission changes.

Once per year sounds doable, I didn't read the RFC and thought this is on a rolling basis.

Hi. I have just switched back to using NixOS more frequently and will be interested in offering contributions again. Any chance I can get added back to the group with push access?
