Giving Pradyun Commit Access for Triaging

[Donald Stufft]

Hey all,

Pradyun has been helping out by triaging issues and going back through some of our older issues, finding ones that could be closed, labeled etc. However due to the nature of Github’s issue tracker you have to be a committer in order to modify the state of the issues so he generally will comment on the issues to make a suggestion and hope one of us notices that he’s done so. For my part, I’ve yet to disagree with one of his suggestions.

So with that in mind, unless someone objects (which they can do privately to me if they don’t want to do so publicly) I’m going to give Pradyun commit access on the pip repository for the limited purpose of triaging issues. He’s agreed to continue to behave as if he doesn’t have commit access for actually landing code changes (and given we disable force pushes, the risk is fairly low, we can always revert if need be).

Agreed. The work he's doing is really useful and while (like Donald)
I've been trying to spot the requests and deal with them for him, it
does add a needless extra step. His judgements have always been fine,
so I'm OK with him just acting on them. @Pradyun, if you ever feel
uncertain about a decision, feel free to make a suggestion and ping as
at present, I'm still happy to respond if needed.

Sounds like an excellent idea to give privileges for Triaging. @Pradyun, If you need any help, please let me know. I have some GitHub stored comments that I use when triaging Jupyter issues. Happy to pass along the info to you. Most of all, thanks for taking on this task :D

This is done, I’ve created a new team called @pip-helpers which has write access to the repository for the sake of doing things like triage issues, but which does not have permissions to push to `master`. I’ve invited Pradyun into that team.

Welcome!
