Delete stale branches

[stv0g]

The DPsim repo on GitHub has currently quite a number of stale branches. We should aim at removing the number of open branches and delete or merge them wherever possible.

Hi, @stv0g, thanks for creating this issue.
To move this forward and eventually close the issue we can:
1. Identify Stale Branches

• We can use this list of stale branches. These are the branches with >3 months without a commit. Or we could may be use our own more relaxed definition of stale, e.g., 1 year without a commit.

2. Assign Ownership

• Assign each stale branch to its creator.

3. Set a Response Deadline

• Give creators 1 month to confirm if their branch is needed or can be deleted.

4. Delete Unclaimed Branches

• Delete branches with no response after the deadline.

what do you think?

[stv0g]

There are the following stale branches created by you. Can we delete them, or are they still beeing worked on / going to be merged at some point in time?

This is just a first bunch of the branches. I would say, if we dont receive any feedback within the next 4 weeks, we should delete the branches..

[georgii-tishenin]

Hi, @stv0g, thanks for driving this further. I removed my stale branch👍

[m-mirz]

@stv0g I have moved my branches to my fork as commented in the other PR. Before you delete branches, please let me know which ones. I would like to store them in my fork as well if the original contributors do not follow up on them. I know that considerable effort went into some of them and do not want to lose the work.

[LennartSchu]

@stv0g I'm not working on any of those branches. I'm not sure either whether either can be deleted. At least one of them is associated with a PR, but I don't know if it will ever be merged. The branches seem to be too divergent from the current master-branch to be useful, I guess.

[stv0g]

@m-mirz @LennartSchu I would delete the branches mentioned in my previous comment. There are still more, but I would like to delete them in smaller batches rather than all at once.

[m-mirz]

@stv0g I have stored all of the branches above in my fork as well. So, you can go ahead deleting them if you do not receive feedback.

[stv0g]

The first bunch of branches from my previous comment have been removed.

I will delete the second batch in on the 2024-12-13 if they respective authors dont reach out in this thread:

[stv0g]

As discussed in our last DPsim meeting, I also ask all other authors to move branches to their own forks of the DPsim repo and open PRs from there.

[gnakti]

@stv0g I moved my branches and those of @matthiasmees and @Shreya210799 to my fork.
