Maintainer Onboarding

Upon approval, the following steps should be taken to onboard the new maintainer:

• 1. Update Project Documentation
  • MAINTAINERS.md File: Merge the PR to add the new maintainer to the MAINTAINERS.md file(s) in the relevant Jaeger repositories.
• 2. Grant Permissions
  • GitHub: Add the new maintainer to the @jaegertracing/jaeger-maintainers GitHub team. This grants them write access to the Jaeger repositories.
  • CNCF Mailing List: Add the new maintainer to the [email protected] mailing list (and any other relevant Jaeger mailing lists). Contact the existing cncf-jaeger-maintainers to find out the precise process for adding to the mailing list, it will likely involve getting in touch with the CNCF.
  • CNCF Maintainer Registry:
    • Create a PR against the cncf/foundation repository to add the new maintainer's information to the project-maintainers.csv file. The following fields are required:
    • Reference the PR in the cncf-jaeger-maintainers mailing list.
  • Signing Keys:
    • Jaeger uses a GPG key for encrypted emails sent to the maintainers for security reports along with access to the maintainers-only GitHub repository. This key is stored in our 1password repository.
  • 1Password: Connect with an existing maintainer to be added to our jaegertracing 1Password team.
  • Netlify: Is where our website is served from, an existing maintainer can add you to our team.
  • We use two analytics tools, one is Scarf and the other is Google Analytics for the projects public facing sites and downloads.
• 3. Announcement
  • Announce the new maintainer to the Jaeger community through the mailing list, blog, or other appropriate channels.

Maintainer Offboarding

The process for removing a maintainer is similar to adding one. A maintainer can step down voluntarily or be removed by a vote of the other maintainers if they are no longer fulfilling their responsibilities or are violating the project's Code of Conduct. A supermajority vote is needed to remove a maintainer. Their access should be revoked from all relevant tools, and the project documentation updated accordingly.
