Request: Ownership Transfer #249

Description

@edouard-lopez

Project's Background

  • @rafaelrinaldi started the project in October 2015 and I'm grateful for it 👏 (see a5d0721)
  • I started to contribute to on early December 2015 (see 72f0e00)
  • @schrodincat/@andreiborisov started to contribute b09bfdc
  • plenty of other persons contributed with issues or PRs 👏

Rafael has been a great help to enter the project but sadly his involvement in the project has dwindled over time. Andrei was also a great help but decided to focus other project and left this summer.

What I'm Doing?

Since joining the project, I massively contribute to the project by:

  • adding new features 🚀 ;
  • adding lots of tests (now at ~170) 🤖 ;
  • configuring CI (twice, thanks Travis 😑) ;
  • onboarding new contributors 🧑‍💻 ;
  • triaging issues 🐛 ;
  • merging PRs 🔀 ;
  • defining code convention 📃 ;
  • releasing versions 📦
  • etc.

Like contributed a lot:

#1 edouard-lopez: 395 commits    6,275 ++    4,232 --
#2 rafaelrinaldi:  46 commits       540 ++      312 --
#3 boyeborg:         7 commits        42 ++        30 --
#4 benedictleejh:   7 commits        59 ++         4 --

@andreiborisov/schrodincat your stats are missing, it might be due to your username change, not sure.

Why This Request?

Transferring ownership is motivated by the fact that I'm the main contributor and the sole active maintainer. However, my hands are tied as I don't have the privileges to manage the project from top to bottom, e.g. to:

  • add new maintainers to remove single point of failure ;
  • access project's settings ;
  • configuring PR template ;
  • updating project's About and keywords to get more visibility ;
  • setting up an open collective (like we did in LessPass).

As a contributor and maintainer of various open-source projects, I know how difficult it is to stay focus and keep allocating time to them.

Community

First time I do such request, might have done some missteps. Be kind 🤗

@rafaelrinaldi

Would you be kind enough to transfer ownership to me, so I can take up the torch of the project?
