[Bioc-devel] Please change maintainer of chipenrich and chipenrich.data packages

5 messages · Raymond Cavalcante, Nitesh Turaga

Hello,

I recently saw a thread on bioc-devel (Re: [Bioc-devel] adding maintainers
to SpatialExperiment repo), where additional people were added to the repo
and allowed to push upstream. Perhaps I was operating under old
terminology, but when I asked for a co-maintainer, my intention was that
both Kai Wang and myself would be both be able to push upstream, and in
effect be maintainers.

With that in mind, with Kai Wang changed to be the "Maintainer of record",
may I retain my ability to push upstream to the repo as well?

Thanks, and sorry for any confusion.

Hi,

Yes, you may retain your ability to push upstream (git.bioconductor.org) as well. The only requirement is only ONE maintainer is listed on the Package DESCRIPTION file, usually the one who takes full responsibility for the maintenance.

There is no concept of co-maintainers, only co-authors. But multiple authors can have push access if requested.

Best,

Nitesh

Thank you. I have one last question: Could we make Kai a co-maintainer, rather than replacing me? Sorry for the mix-up, I was under the impression that only one maintainer was allowed.

Thanks again,
Raymond

Hi,

I've added Kai to the package and he has access now.

Kai now has a BiocCredentials account which needs to be activated. Once activated, he needs to add SSH keys to gain access to the package.

I believe Kai and yourself both have access already.

Is there a problem where either of you aren?t able to access the package?
