build-flow-plugin is looking for a new maintainer.

[Damien NOZAY]

Hi all,

I have not been very active, and would like to let someone else step forward and maintain the plugin.

https://github.com/jenkinsci/build-flow-plugin

Though I have not been developing much on the plugin, I tried to spend my time gating changes and making sure - or trying to - that contributions meet a certain standard:

• changes should belong in the plugin (as opposed to extending in yet another plugin)
• changes should make sense - hacks are discouraged,
• changes should be tested - probably the most important point.

Being a maintainer can hurt people's feelings, their changes are important to them; they dogfood the product and it keeps moving things forward. Yet, sometimes changes are not technically sound, un-tested, risky and a maintenance hell. This is when you come in : try to review the code, question the design, try to investigate older similar proposals, and guide them to a successful change.

Thanks,

Damien
