#112371 — DD's, Debian Mentors needs you!

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi all DD's

Debian Mentors[1] always struggles to find available Debian Developers for final reviewing and
sponsoring of packages submitted too our part of the project.

We believe some packages are ready or very close to the quality for sponsorship and we would request
any DD who has the time and is willing, to have a look at one or more of the packages below and
possibly sponsor them into Debian.

Mentors page:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/hexwalk/
Request For Sponsorship (RFS):
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1065008

Mentors page:

Mentor page:

Request For Sponsorship (RFS):
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1074592

Your assistance will be extremely appreciated and if announcing a few at a time on the 'devel' list
works, this could become a weekly thing.

Hi Xiao and all,

I am not sure if this could be done automatically. Mentors uses the expo platform and that will take
some research and discussion to see what maybe could be done. We could create a wiki page with ready
packages for DD attention that could be forwarded in a mail to this list at a set interval. Maybe
more experienced DDs/Contributors to Mentors such as Andrey Rakhmatullin may have more insight than
I here.

Regards

Phil

It could. There is actually an issue for that[1], but no one has worked
on it yet.

Note that, there is also an api on mentors[2], that an external
provider could use that to craft and send those weekly reports
automatically.

Best,

Morning,

The API currently does not seem to expose the data to extract to create such a
report. When comment is done in the comment box for an upload, we have a
dropdown with:

* Not reviewed
* Needs work
* Ready

The above data does not seem to be stored. The up-loader also has the ability to
mark an their upload as ready. These would need to be addressed before any
viable report could be thought about.

Regards

Phil

Hi Otto,

Many thanks for giving your time.

selint has been picked up by Pierre Gruet <pgt@debian.org> via the Request For Sponsorship (RFS)
bug[1], so I think that one is OK. The other two are happily yours. :-)

Hi Phil,

thanks for advertising Debian Mentors.

One thing I'm missing on mentors.d.n is that I it does not advertise
existing teams.  It happened from time to time that there was some
sponsoring request of Debian Science, Debian Med or Debian Python Team
related packages (surely others I did not notices).  Asking on the
relevant lists very easily helps getting the package in question
sponsored.  I have a personal sponsoring policy that I only sponsor from
a Git repository in a team I'm working in.  This has the advantage I can
easily help by pushing some commit with extensive comment to teach the
sponsee in some direct way.  Making a sponsee aware how to work together
with a team inside Debian is IMHO very important.

Thus I would welcome if there could be some explicit hint to mentees
to relevant teams.

Kind regards
    Andreas.

PS: Please do not understand my remark related to the packages below
    just a general remark fitting the subject.

+1.

I wanted to sponsor at least 3 packages but backed off when I saw it is
impossible to push my changes to a common git repo to ease off the work.

I could go ahead with selint (on salsa) but to my surprise selinux team does not
have a request to join button on[1] - likely disabled on purpose.

Hi Nilesh,

The 'request access' button is now available once clicked on the button with three dots on the top right, and on mobile this seems to be a "More actions" button instead of thw three dots one. IIRC this change has happened since before the last few gitlab version updates.

Best,
Ananthu

Ah, thanks weeping sir!
I have clicked on the request access button ever since I started contributing
and was unaware about this.

I've applied. Let's see if someone considers approving.

After reading a number of comments to the email below, I thought I would 
provide a bit of context for this email and Phil’s excellent work on Mentors.

Recently Phil has taken it upon himself to triage every package that requests 
sponsorship on mentors.debian.net.  Here is an example of the work he does:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2024/07/msg00032.html

When he feels a package is ready for sponsorship, he indicates that with an 
email to the list.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2024/07/msg00024.html

In some cases, nobody picks these up.  The email below was sent to debian-
devel with a curated list of packages that Phil has already reviewed and feels 
are ready for a DD to sponsor.

At any point, anyone can look at all of the packages on Mentors requesting a 
sponsor.

https://mentors.debian.net/

But I have found Phil’s work to be very helpful, as I have limited time to 
handle sponsorships.  When I look at a package Phil has endorsed, I can be 
sure that the simple and obvious things have already been taken care of.

I would heartily hope that Phil continues to send periodic emails to debian-
devel with lists of packages that he considers ready, but that are languishing 
on the vine because nobody has noticed them.  I would also encourage anyone 
else to get involved in this process if they feel so inclined.  I think that 
one of the most important aspects of attracting people to Debian is to make it 
easy for someone who is not yet a DD or DM to submit packages and have them be 
reviewed promptly.  There is probably nothing as demotivating to a first-time 
contributor as putting a lot of effort into a package, having it be in good 
shape, and then never having it be sponsored simply because it didn’t get 
noticed.

Soren

P.S.  Based on Phil’s work on Mentors and my interactions with him, I have 
advocated for him to become a Debian Developer, uploading.  I think his 
contributions to Debian will be even more impactful when he can sponsor the 
packages he feels are ready.

As one of those who received help from Phil who kindly helped review my
packages and finding potential sponsors, I want to take this opportunity
to thank Phil again for his kind works and Gianfranco for sponsoring
many of my packages.

With that said, I want to echo Soren's word that I believe what Phil and
Gianfranco has been doing is greatly helpful for new and potential
Debian Maintainers, and it would be great that this process can have
more people involved and get improved to make the review and sponsor
process smoother.

Morning Xiyue,

Thank you for the kind words. I agree whole heartedly with your comments that more people getting
involved to make for a better Debian mentors would be good. Debian mentors is a great place to be
around and we all learn something being involved.

Regards

Phil

Thanks to you and all your work for mentors.d.n.   Just to clarify my
mail about connecting to teams (which is done as I learned in response):
I did by no means intended to lower the importance of mentors.d.n in
general for Debian and newcomers.

Thanks again
    Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

No need at all for your clarification. My words were generally meant to be an
ideal for what I feel that mentors should be and what people can gain from it.

Your comments regarding connecting teams are in my thoughts for how we can do
better in this direction. I did reach out to the python team a little while ago
to find sponsors for a few python packages that had been languishing on mentors.
This turned into a discussion if the python team can approach sponsoring in a
different way and the ruby team was put forward, who have a very good procedures
for sponsoring.

I am not yet ready to let these thoughts out as yet until they are fully formed
and be best put forward to contributors to mentors etc.

Regards

Phil
