For sure, but what could be done is eliminating any non-superflous task so they can focus on resolving that specific problem.
Have a team handle all github issues and media inquiries. Another team focus on initially evaluating all incoming pull requests to check for egregious errors or applicability.
Only after making it through the gauntlet would the original maintainers need to read and/or respond to them.
Especially when such overwhelming public attention and pressure overtakes a relatively small team like this one.
- filmgirlcw 5y agoThere is still a risk that the kind of time required for the maintainers to have to get those teams up to speed on the project and how it works and what needs to be done could be just as much of a distraction. Adding more triage teams might be good in the future, but for now, adding more outsiders without proper context might just add stress. As with openssl, what needs to be done is that these volunteers need to be given cash so this is more than just a volunteer project. If a particular corporate entity doesn’t want to sponsor some of the maintainers to work on it full time, then the project needs full-time sponsorship by the Linux Foundation, ASF or under the OpenJDK.
