We discussed this at the TVM Community Meeting this morning.
- It seems like some of the problems addressed here (unable to assign PRs to
folks outside the Apache org) are better handled by adding more folks to Apache
org. Are we exploring this?
- Yes, but separately from this automation. This RFC is merely an attempt to
improve our automation.
- Is there any other way to work around the limitation of being in the Apache
org?
- I think Apache requires us to host our source code on their
infrastructure. We could perhaps consider moving away from GitHub, but that's
more drastic. Within the limitations of GitHub, I believe we need to stay
inside the Apache namespace.
- The bar to be in Apache via TVM seems high.
- Agreed, and this is something the project needs to work on.
- Is it possible for folks to join Apache org without being a committer?
- We do have a Triage role we can consider using for this, but there are a
limited number of seats so we need to balance this request against other
project-level needs.
- The limit is somewhat artificial from Apache.
- Are we exploring whether we can add membership roles in the ASF to address
this? Getting write access to a repo seems like a fairly large step--can we
take a smaller step here?
- We haven't explored this, but it would be a good thing to work on.
- Does this RFC make anyone participating on a review thread into a committer?
- No.
- Reviewers are missing some functionality that would be particularly helpful:
1. Can't close issues
2. Review approvals don't show up on PRs (e.g. no green checkmark appears)
- It would be great if we could find a way to improve the situation.
- Remember this is just one step forward, so we will continue to monitor and
improve from here.
