workflow-multibranch-plugin PRs hanging

[Filipe Cristóvão]

Hey there,

  I'm a newbie to Jenkins Plugin development, so please forgive me if I missed something basic.

  I've created a PR to the `workflow-multibranch-plugin` here: https://github.com/jenkinsci/workflow-multibranch-plugin/pull/94. However, it got assigned no reviewers, and it has been sitting there for a couple of weeks already.

  I've also noticed that there's other PRs there in the same situation. 

  I checked that the plugin is not marked for adoption (and it seems to be one quite used out there). 

  Did I miss something when making the PR, or is this normal (as I have no idea as to when things are usually merged, or if there's a workflow for it).

Kind Regards,

[Mark Waite]

It is fairly common that pull requests spend time waiting before they are reviewed, merged, and released.  Maintainers are volunteers and their availability varies.  Maintainers of critical plugins (like the multibranch plugin) need to be quite sensitive to maintain compatibility for existing users, so they may be uncomfortably slow to integrate a proposed change.

You can encourage further reviews by using your pull request in your own production and by reporting your results in the pull request.

You can encourage further reviews by inviting others who use your pull request to also report their results in the pull request.  Maintainers often see more users of a pull request as an indicator of greater interest in the pull request and greater confidence that the pull request does not negatively affect other features of the plugin.
