Overall Project Goal: Project Goal: An increase % in contribution typically done by project maintainers (pull request review, responding to, and trying to replicate issues).
- Do you provide ways for people to provide feedback on those in this role already?
- Are we clear about ways people can step up, and also step down if they feel burnt out?
- For those who step down, are there ways their contribution remains recognized?
- Is there a very visible invitation for people to take on review of PRs, and issues?
- Is leadership/maintainer tasks distributed, or is there one person with the majority of influence?
- Are there visibly diverse people in roles of influence? (age, language, timezone, gender identity)
- Are people already doing this work (staff or contributors) accountable to a set of responsbiltiies ?
- Are their roles, and responsiblities publicly documented?
- Is it clear, how those roles will be held accountable, and by whom?
- Do you have a Code of Conduct
- Is it enforced?
- Do people know and trust that your CoC is enforced?
- Do we treat everyone in roles of influence equally?
- Do we give less space to the loudest voices, native English speakers, or time-zones? Imagine the impact on a quieter person, non-native English speaker outside of North America
- Maintainer-like roles require non-technical skill, including engagement of those opening issues, documentation and community engagement. Do you explicitly invite these skillsets to step up as well?
