I've always been curious, what do maintainers that are trying to pass the torch look for? Surely there are a huge amount of people that offer but they mostly get rejected. What makes a good candidate?
- cryptonector 4y agoContribution quality. When Stephen made me a maintainer, he did it because I kept sending him PRs he liked, and he was losing energy for jq. When I asked Stephen to make Will and David maintainers, it was because their contributions were of very good quality. Problem is I've fallen way behind on keeping up with issues and PRs, so right now I don't know who would be a good candidate. The other problem is, as I mentioned elsewhere, that I cannot make someone a maintainer -- only Stephen can. If Stephen agrees to a `jqlang` org, then it will be possible for him to delegate authority to add new maintainers.
