Hi @GeraldLoeffler; i think that @mihaelmulesoft and @jestefaniaaulet should meet the AsyncAPI community and works one some first PRs before becoming maintainer of this repository, no ?

@derberg @fmvilas what's the policy and guidance in this situations? Is the code-ownership something that can assigned/inherited (given that there are volunteers)? IMHO this needs your input.

We do not have any official standard approach here, only recommendations.

The only thing that official Charter tells us is A Contributor may become a Committer of a given Project’s repository by majority approval of the repository Committers.

So it is up to us (bindings repo maintainers) to define what criteria we take into account to accept someone as maintainer.

And yes, the general rule of thumb is that you first contribute so later you can become a maintainers. The problem is that it is super easy on a tool level, where some additional work can be easily generated, so potential maintainer can first contribute. It is even easier on a spec level where we have regular releases, release process so it is easier for contributors to contribute and long term become a maintainer.

With bindings, it is not that easy, as bindings is basically a set of independent micro-specs for different protocols, that are not changed very often:

• it is hard to find a set of starter issues that maintainer-candidate could do first
• we do not have any practice here on how changing of maintainers should work, as we never did it before

should meet the AsyncAPI community

totally agree, joining Slack and #introduction channel would be a great start, maybe even community meeting (or spec 3.0 meeting)

@GeraldLoeffler is there anything in the current anypoint binding that requires some work that candidates could do? except of #182 that will soon generate some work for maintainers

It is a start of a very good discussion that we later need to document here as new version of https://github.com/asyncapi/bindings/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md (maybe that could be also done by the candidates)

no @derberg , there is no obvious outstanding work to be done on the current binding. But maybe @mihaelmulesoft and @jestefaniaaulet will will have some ideas once they look into it in detail.

also, to ease the transition away from me, I can offer to mentor their work on the first 1 or 2 PRs that they will work on - whenever that is.

Would be good if @mihaelmulesoft and @jestefaniaaulet could join this PR and introduce

@GeraldLoeffler can you check with @mihaelmulesoft and @jestefaniaaulet. Maybe they need a call and some onboarding. I'm happy to help.

@derberg We already had a nice onboarding session with Gerald. Happy and ready to support working on the anypointmq bidnings

@GeraldLoeffler @mboss37 since @jestefaniaaulet is not active here, nor in the #203 I suggest he is not yet added to codeowners. We need people that are responsive that we can rely on.

removed @jestefaniaaulet for now as per my previous comment

/rtm

@mboss37 you should get an invite to be a maintainer of the repo. I also sent invite to the organization.
