Dear Zorillas and other Stackers,
I would like to formalize the conversations we've been having amongst ourselves over IRC and in-person. At the outset, we have a lot of incoming changes to review, but we have limited core maintainer attention. We haven't re-jigged our core maintainers team as often as we'd like, and that's partly to blame. We have some relatively new and enthusiastic contributors that we would love to encourage to become maintainers! We've mentored contributors 1-1, n-1 before before adding them to the maintainers team. We would like to do more of this!**
In this spirit, I would like your inputs on adding Douglas Viroel (dviroel) to the core maintainers team for manila and its associated projects (manila-specs, manila-ui, python-manilaclient, manila-tempest-plugin, manila-test-image, manila-image-elements). Douglas has been an active contributor for the past two releases and has valuable review inputs in the project. While he's been around here less longer than some of us, he brings a lot of experience to the table with his background in networking and shared file systems. He has a good grasp of the codebase and is enthusiastic in adding new features and fixing bugs in the Ussuri cycle and beyond.
Please give me a +/-1 for this proposal.
** If you're interested in helping us maintain Manila by being part of the manila core maintainer team, please reach out to me or any of the current maintainers, we would love to work with you and help you grow into that role!
Thanks, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr)
