Issue to collect information about the asset, stakeholder, responsibilities, governance of the Stockfish/fishtest project, when complete this should be published in the wiki.

To have a clear picture of the today situation and to decide if/how to make changes.

[snicolet]

Thanks for starting this thread!
I have added the owners of the official-stockfish github

[ppigazzini]

@snicolet I insert the GitHub nomenclature to describe role and permission level, please review my changes.
If I'm not wrong https://github.com/official-stockfish should be a GitHub Organization.
I added also the ChessDBCN workers fleet because the fishtest maintainer must coordinate with @noobpwnftw before enforcing worker code changes.

[snicolet]

@ppigazzini Yes, https://github.com/official-stockfish is a GitHub organization. Marco created a team called Maintainers inside it, with admin privileges on the Stockfish repo.

I have added the Abrok site, which is a little bit independent but still very often used by everybody in the community.

[ppigazzini]

@snicolet IMO a natural step should be to increase your permission level (if viable) to create a new repo and add a new collaborator in https://github.com/official-stockfish, or to add you in the owners group.

[Vizvezdenec]

we can add approvers list, althuogh it will be pretty big.

[xoto10]

Not sure it's a good idea to publish the approvers, requiring approval is
how we stop people messing with fishtest by submitting fake tests.

[ppigazzini]

Congratulation to the new https://github.com/official-stockfish owner. Well deserved @snicolet !

[vondele]

as per https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2391 we should also track who owns the CI infrastructure (travis and appveyor).

[snicolet]

I have added Joost in the maintainers list. Welcome!

[Vizvezdenec]

Yeah if I thought about an addition to maintainer list my first guess will be Joost :)
@vondele Good luck for you in this not that easy task :)

[ppigazzini]

Thank you @snicolet for the hard work!
Good luck @vondele :)

[tomtor]

I am sure @vondele will do an excellent job as did @snicolet !

[xoto10]

Thanks for all your hard work @snicolet excellent job :-)

And @vondele thanks for offering to do this !

[snicolet]

@glinscott @mcostalba @zamar

Would it be possible to add @vondele to the "owner" list? That would ease the integration of the NNUE architecture on the site, as there are some actions he cannot do with the mere "maintainer" status.

Edit: done.

[snicolet]

Added a link to the Stockfish discord channel

[ianfab]

The nodchip repo for the NNUE training code might also be worth adding.
