I see, that was/is unclear to me, notably because development of `timeout` happens on GitHub (not on this issue tracker) and does not seem to require much consensus. What is the difference in practice with gems listed [here](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/maintainers.md) as "No maintainer"? Some other libs like `socket` have `API change needs matz's approval`, which is clear (and means API changes need an approved ticket on this tracker from matz). > Also, it would be very rude to say "there is no maintainer" when there is a maintainer's name. I didn't say that, I said in the first sentence: > The timeout gem has currently no official active maintainers And this is true in the literal sense, matz himself is not actively maintaining ruby/timeout. To be extra clear, I mean no disrespect to matz or anyone else. --- I feel your quick reject without much explanations is rude, though. Especially when from my POV I think I have addressed matz's concerns. It feels to me like you're trying to prevent to have a conversation on this. ---------------------------------------- Misc #21949: timeout gem maintainers https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21949#change-116650 * Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- The timeout gem has currently [no official active maintainers](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/maintainers.md). I would like to propose myself and @nobu (see below) as maintainers of the [timeout](https://github.com/ruby/timeout) gem. I basically rewrote the implementation in https://github.com/ruby/timeout/pull/15 and acted as a maintainer since then by reviewing PRs and replying to issues. I also recently solved all open issues except https://github.com/ruby/timeout/issues/52 (where I have a draft PR to try to solve it and need more time to validate the fix). Among other [recent active contributors](https://github.com/ruby/timeout/graphs/contributors) I see @nobu, would you like to be maintainer of timeout as well? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
