Hi All,
last year in Firenze I contacted Richard by e-mail, and asked Alessandro personally what was the rationale of the "Owners" field. I had this use case in mind: add a person as contributor to allow him/her to upload plugin versions. The "Author" field was already filled with the organization we worked for. For some reason, I could not add him/her as a maintainer (perhaps the maintainer is a single person or the field doesn't appear in the edit form), and the field "Owner" sounded as if I worked for him/her, which was not the case. After some discussion with Alessandro, he found a more precise term for describing what the 'Owner' field is for: and the term is "Collaborator", which did fit perfectly with my use case. See the proposed change here: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django/pull/254 Regards, Germań El jue, 22 jun 2023 a las 2:13, Richard Duivenvoorde via QGIS-Developer (< qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org>) escribió: > Or maybe... the 'author' string of the metadata.txt is used as is. > If you leave it, it will probably use the name from your > credentials/ldap. > But if you add more names there, it will be shown in the plugin > dialog(s) > > Regards, > > Richard > > On 2023-06-22 09:08, Richard Duivenvoorde via QGIS-Developer wrote: > > On 2023-06-22 06:34, Nyall Dawson via QGIS-Developer wrote: > >> Hi list, > >> > >> This is possibly a stupid question -- but how can I add additional > >> users as collaborators to a plugin via https://plugins.qgis.org/? > >> > >> I can see other plugins which have done this, but can't see any > >> settings exposed in my plugins which permit me to add collaborations > >> myself. > > > > As admin it it possible to change 'owners'.
