All code should have a maintainer.
- rurban 5y agoAll shared code should have proper documentation (including which errors are thrown, plus unit-tests). Then every flyby can maintain it. A maintainer per se does not help at all, if it's a bad one. Most are bad
- galaxyLogic 5y agoWhat I'm thinking is that you need code/module ownership. Every module should have an owner, who is its maintainer. Only that way maintainers get credit for doing great maintenance including providing good documentation. If everybody can "maintain" a piece of code nobody is really responsible for it and nobody really gets credit or blame because everybody does.
