Help maintaining role-strategy-plugin

[Thomas Nemer]

Hello Jenkins Developers,

It seems the role-strategy-plugin could need some help for maintenance,
and I'm willing to offer my help on that subject.
Oleg Nenashev proposed to discuss that here.

I am globally not familiar with this process, but as I understand, there
is a permission manager tool that needs to be updated so that it is
possible to push on the binary repository and permissions needed on the
git repo, but that's about all I know ^^

As I said to Oleg, I'm far from being an experienced plugin developer,
I've only created a couple of PRs on nested-view plugin and I have one
PR waiting on role-strategy-plugin which will probably need some rework
before being acceptable, but I'm using the plugin on a daily basis, and
would be happy to help making it properly maintained.

Thanks very much for your willingness to contribute to the plugin and to become a maintainer.

If one of the maintainers of the plugin is willing to approve you as a maintainer, you can be made a maintainer immediately.  If they're not ready to do that yet, you can start contributing to the plugin through a series of pull requests. The "Contributing to Open Source" workshop from DevOps World 2021 suggests a series of small steps that help the plugin and help a new contributor become familiar with the plugin.  That document includes links to a five part video series that illustrates many of the steps.

Hello Mark,

Thanks for this nice documentation.
I'll read it entirely soon (and have a look at the videos too), but at first glance, it seems I'm already familiar with all the tools and practice described.

I already have made this pull request, which motivated the idea of becoming a maintainer for the plugin.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks a lot for stepping up! Indeed it would be great to have a maintainer for the plugin, and I'm happy to support you in this role. I have very limited bandwidth but I will do my best to help with some code reviews and onboarding if needed.

I will add you to GitHUb. Before releasing the plugin, let's have a chat in the email. To get release permissions, yu will need to submit a pull request to https://github.com/jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater/blob/master/permissions/plugin-role-strategy.yml

Best regards

Oleg Nenashev
