What are the qualifications for becoming a maintainer? Is the bar set high? Is there a vetting process? I am interested but I'm not sure they will accept just anyone as a maintainer.
- wolco 9y agoA person who has submitted some pr fixes and shows an understanding of the software stands a good chance.
- honestoHeminway 9y agoUsually it is the guy who forks the original, and gets burried beneath patches?
- ori_b 9y agoMostly, a history of sending patches.
- jancsika 9y agoYou should definitely send a message to the gedit mailing list mailing declaring your desire to take over maintainership. If nobody replies send to a more general Gnome list. I'd actually be interested to read a public reply to a potential maintainer for one of their unmaintained projects.
