From 19e13b0a6d080e65dd6d75cda63cb2f2f1605f89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2023 07:47:53 -0700 Subject: docs: add maintainer entry profile for XFS Create a new document to list what I think are (within the scope of XFS) our shared goals and community roles. Since I will be stepping down shortly, I feel it's important to write down somewhere all the hats that I have been wearing for the past six years. Also, document important extra details about how to contribute to XFS. Cc: corbet@lwn.net Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Wong" Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2023 07:47:53 -0700 Subject: MAINTAINERS: drop me as XFS maintainer I burned out years ago trying to juggle the roles senior developer, reviewer, tester, triager (crappily), release manager, and (at times) manager liaison. There's enough work here in this one subsystem for a team of 20 FT, but instead we're squeezed to half that. I thought if I could hold on just a bit longer I could help to maintain the focus on long term development to improve the experience for users. I was wrong. Nowadays, people working on XFS seem to spend most of their time on distro kernel backports and dealing with AI-generated corner case bug reports that aren't user reports. Reviewing has become a nightmare of sifting through under-documented kernel code trying to decide if this new feature won't break all the other features. Getting reviews is an unpleasant process of negotiating with demands for further cleanups, trying to figure out if a review comment is based in experience or unfamiliarity, and wondering if the silence means anything. For now, I will continue to review patches and will try to get online fsck, parent pointers, and realtime volume modernisation merged. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

He has had sufficient experience merging backports to the 5.4 LTS tree, testing them, and sending them on to the LTS leads. NOTE: I am /not/ nominating Chandan to take on any of the other roles I have just dropped. Bug triager, testing lead, and community manager are open positions that need to be filled. There's also maintainer for supported LTS releases (4.14, 4.19, 5.10...). Cc: Chandan Babu R Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
