Past instances of pushback against something like this?
- How detailed does this repo need to be?
- Could be more nested, e.g. for Nixpkgs, there could be resources `lib`, `pkgs` and `nixos`.
- Necessary for each "project", not necessarily root resources (e.g. github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs is its own project, even though the github.com/NixOS owners have higher permissions)
- Or maybe the github.com/NixOS owners should be the people deciding over the vision of the technical project?
kind of like an org chart
Generate GitHub repo descriptions with owners, like nix-community.
Instead of framing it as imposing additional constraints, frame it as enabling people to do more things
Frame it as a service for an overview, vision to manage permissions in a uniform way?
@fricklerhandwerk's concrete steps:
- Write down the overview of everything (somewhere)
- RFC (or any sort of broadly public discussion) for this to become official
- Ensure that reality matches the description *now*
- May require the repo owner to have org owner permissions (to set repo permissions, groups, etc.)
- Or have a single person that delegates changing ownership to others
- ...this is to be decided in an agreeable manner
- With the first PR to hand out new permissions, questions of policy naturally arise and need to be resolved
- "New team, shouldn't they have meeting notes?"
- @tomberek: Would expected the board to do that, but it's not
- @infinisil: Could ask the board to be that team instead
- @infinisil: Fund somebody?
- Valentin: The RFC could decide how to solve that, but needs to be considered
- @infinisil: RFCSC has worked so far, seems comparable work-load
- @tomberek: RFCSC doesn't have as high of a stake. Org changes would involve conflicts among people
- @infinisil: Realistic/Needed?
