[Sugar-devel] Proposal: Adding Manuel Quiñones as a Sugar shell maintainer

[Simon Schampijer]

Hi,

Something I wanted to propose in todays developer meeting (but as it did 
not happen), I send it here for an async proposal.

We are short on maintainers and we have to grow new members that helps 
us share the load. The patch list is long and help in that regard will 
be appreciated that especially small patches do not take so long to get in.

Lately Manuel Quiñones have been stepping up as a Sugar module 
maintainer. He is already maintaining sugar-artwork and 
sugar-toolkit-gtk3 [1]. He has been showing great talent with porting 
the Browse activity to WebkitGtk [2] and he has been working on porting 
the Sugar theme and the sugar-toolkit to GTK+ 3.

We are currently working on the shell port to GTK+ 3 and introspection 
and Manuel has been advancing already quite a lot [3]. As all of those 
Sugar sub-modules are interlinked I think it makes absolute sense to add 
him as a maintainer to the Sugar shell as well.

To make sure: the general work-flow should not change, patches have to 
be sent to the mailing list for review. For non-trivial reviews a 
maintainer should have at least one review, preferred a review and 
acknowledgment from another maintainer. It is good practice to leave a 
patch for a few days so everyone maintainer can at least have a high 
level look if he disagrees with an approach.

I hope we can address the issues listed in that way,
    Simon
