Description

@RafaelGSS

Hi folks,

During the latest Node.js Release WG meeting we discussed the project health and the importance of leaving only active members with permissions for the threats evaluated by nodejs/TSC#1618.

Currently, we have a list of 11 releasers (in the README, and 10 with permissions https://github.com/orgs/nodejs/teams/releasers) but just a few of them are making releases this year. The idea is to finalize this task with a real active nodejs releasers list and seek new releasers if needed (possibly yes).

This is the list of 2024 releases: https://github.com/RafaelGSS/nodejs-stats/blob/main/releases/2024-releases.csv.

Releasers:

  • RafaelGSS
  • Marco Ippolito
  • Richard Lau
  • Antoine du Hamel
  • Michaël Zasso
  • Ulises Gascón

    FWIW this discrepancy is because #1024 hasn't landed yet (but the teams have been updated). More specifically, I was keeping that open to track the offboarding checklist in #1024 (comment).

    Edit: landed now so the lists are in sync.

    SGTM - this is somewhat worrisome. We should try to recruit more releasers (says somebody who has never done a Node.js release after being on the TSC for many years :/).

    fwiw I'm still happy to be a releaser, if "not being a collaborator" stops being a barrier.

    Pinging the ones that are subject to be moved to emeritus:

    If any of you would like to remain on the active list, please let me know! I'll proceed with this right after the next releasers meeting.

    I've been a bit busy lately, but I had previously volunteered (#926) and that did not really move forward.
    I am still happy to get involved and join the releasers team 🙂

    @RafaelGSS Please leave me on the active list for now as I still plan to contribute whenever possible

    Looks like we won't have a Releasers meeting anytime soon. I'll proceed with off-boarding at the end of the week.

    • @atlowChemi feel free to start joining our meetings and following our discussions on this repo
    • @ljharb last time our team discussed it, it's mandatory to be a nodejs member in order to be a releaser.

    @RafaelGSS "nodejs member", or collaborator? if it's still "collaborator" then indeed I don't qualify, but "member" is a very broad category that I've been included in for the better part of a decade.

    Sorry I meant Node.js collaborator

    I volunteer!

    We already talked with @RafaelGSS and I've started attending meetings to get an idea of how things work, and I'll try to step up the contributions to hopefully get a Collaborator status soon
