Dear Nitesh,
Thanks for the email. It seems that only one maintainer is allowed. May I ask if it is possible to switch the official maintainer to my name? The maintenance will be mainly implemented by me from now on.

Best,
Jing

Hi,

Jing Tang now needs to log in to the BiocCredentials app, and activate her account. She should have access.

I will email her account details to her directly.


Best,

Nitesh

Please let us know who you want to add as the maintainer. The bioconductor team has to do this internally, you cannot do this on your end. 

I need the name, email address, GitHub username of the person you?d like to add as collaborator. 

Best,

Nitesh

Hi,

Please cc the collaborator you?d like to add. We have to add the email to the BiocCredentials app before they get access to the Bioconductor git repo.  But keep in mind, the person wouldn?t be a maintainer, but a contributor. Because R packages have only 1 official maintainer. 

It is advisable that you maintain a Github repo, have your collaborator push changes to your package on Github, and the one maintainer does the ?sync? process with the Bioconductor git repo. 


I?m pasting the guidelines as given on our website, 
http://bioconductor.org/developers/package-guidelines/#description


?Authors at R or Author/Maintainer:? fields: Use either Authors at R field or Author: and Maintainer: fields, not both. A maintainer designation is required with an actively maintained email. This email will be used for contact regarding an issues that arise with your package in the future.
Only one person should be listed in the Maintainer field to ensure a single point of contact. This person by default will have commit access to the git repository on git.bioconductor.org. Commit access can be given to other developers by request on the bioc-devel mailing list. Another option is to add collaborators to the github repository. This approach enables development by many but restricts push access to git.bioconductor.org.


Best,

Nitesh
