Could you please provide me with commit access to saml-plugin repository, github account https://github.com/0xcfff. I've made a pull request about a week ago but it still has not been merged.

Your change removes some variables and doesn't have any readResolve methods. This looks like a configuration breaking change. I will suggest wait plugin developer.

One more update, guy under masked name and account is from my company and i provided him additional details internally. Usual expected workflow:
1) contact to author/maintainer of plugin, wait and get (or no) reply
2) After some delay week-month back to maillist and describe situation
3) Then based on situation maillist will provide commit permissions or help with review/merge/release (maybe i will do it). 
Assuming that person don't want maintain this plugin in future i suggest firstly wait initial author.

Hello everyone,

10 more days passed since my initial email so I decided to write another one with details of what I'm trying to achieve.

saml-plugin, as it stated at plugin's description page, provide ability to authenticate users to Jenkins using SAML SSO protocol. On that page there is a discussion in the comments about lack of groups support. Lack of this feature makes it impossible to use this plugin together with Role-Based Strategy to configure security on per-group basis, only per-user level security is supported. So, in order to address this issue I've added groups support and made this pull request. As nobody answered me in a week, I asked for commit rights (according to this document
You can also make me a maintainer. I don't have much knowledge in Jenkins codebase but I could try to assist if something related to this plugin breaks one day. Also I can try to add tests and one more feature to this plugin when I have time.

I've added you as a committer. Sorry for the delay.

Sounds like a reasonable effort has been spent on contacting the original author, so from my PoV you should just proceed and merge, especially if you have KostyaSha's +1 on the change itself.

Email of maintainer is available in any git commit. I think it shouldn’t not be very difficult at least add him to this thread (sorry if i’m blind)?
