New (co-)maintainers for Jackson Kotlin module Wanted!

[Tatu Saloranta]

TL;DNR;

We need more developers who can ok PRs, commit them.

Longer:

Due to increasing popularity of Kotlin (yay!), Jackson Kotlin module has gotten ever increasing usage, interest, and as a result many new edge cases have been uncovered, and new feature requests filed. This is great!

What is not great, unfortunately, is that there is the bottleneck in getting these contributions processed. This is mainly due to combination of the module owner/lead, Jayson M, having limited time to contribute; and my lack of deeper knowledge of Kotlin (and module) to properly review changes and evaluate suggested approaches. Typically this could be solved by others with more time & expertise stepping up, but unfortunately while there are devs that could and are wiling to help, we haven't yet figured out who should have commit access beyond Jayson & myself.

I'd be more than happy to give access but would want to figure out ideally 2 or 3 developers who would collaboratively handle PRs, help with bug reports. I do not mean that everything must be approved by all, but rather that things would not fall to just a single person, and that there is always possibility of getting feedback and different perspectives.

So: what would be great are:

(1) suggestions for how to go about finding maintainers, if anyone has good ideas, and

(2) Nominations (including self-nominations) if you know someone -- may be done here, or, privately by sending to `info` at fasterxml d ot  com (or `tatu` at fasterxml do t com)

ps. Ideally this would get done in time for 2.10 to get all the good fixes in 2.10.0!

Hello.

I have time and desire to take a look at the module.

As a first step can take a loot into this module and help with code review.

P.S. I have experience in OSS and Kotlin, my Github account: https://github.com/viartemev

Excellent! Looking forward to your contributions: I will work Jayson (author of the module, maintainer), too, to figure out details of adding new core contributors.
