Hi everyone! We’re looking for maintainers to help steward some critical Open edX repositories. Since these repos are essential to the platform, we can’t deprecate them—which means we need community members like you to keep them healthy and maintained. #### Repos that need maintainers: - openedx/edx-val - openedx/edx-milestones - openedx/django-wiki - openedx/credentials - In Progress @jajjibhai007 - openedx/credentials-themes - openedx/frontend-app-learner-record - In Progress @jajjibhai007 - openedx/edx-ora2 - openedx/edx-ace - In Progress @jawad - openedx/web-fragments - openedx/edx-rbac - openedx/django-pyfs - openedx/auth-backends Don’t worry if you’re not already familiar with these specific repos—experience with similar parts of the stack is enough to get started. [Current Core Contributors can nominate themselves for CC rights expansion](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/maintainers-requirements-update/12273). #### What does maintenance entail? As a maintainer, most of the time it’s pretty easy, keep your repo up-to-date (make sure renovate and edx-requirement-bot PRs are landing), review other PRs that come in or delegate to other CCs of your repo, and help with major maintenance efforts such as Node, React, or Python upgrades. If you have any questions please feel free to ask here or reach out to me directly! ---

@qasimgulzar it looks like you’re currently not a CC so we’ll need to nominate you for CC first. Is there a repo you are more excited about than others? @Muhammad.Ammar looks like you’re already a CC on a bunch of the enterprise repos so this would just be a rights expansion. Can you make a rights-expansion post for that repo for yourself? Thank you both for stepping up! ---

> [@jajjibhai007](#): > > Hi @feanil , I would like to become a maintainer of [openedx/frontend-app-learner-record](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-learner-record) @jajjibhai007 that sounds good, looks like we’ll need a rights expansion, can you make a post for the rights expansion? Also, are you familiar with the credentials service, since learner record is the MFE related to it, I’m wondering if you could take on that as well? No worries if that’s too much or you’re less comfortable taking on the backend repo. ---

@jajjibhai007 I’m also happy to be a support for maintainers for learner record and credentials if you take those both on; I believe they are both pretty well documented but I’m happy to talk through any history or concerns! ---

Sure @feanil I’m okay with taking over the credentials (Backend) one as well. I will try to give my best. > [Question] can you make a post for the rights expansion? What’s the exact process for that? ---

The doc that explains the process is here: [OEP-54: Core Contributors — Open edX Proposals 1.0 documentation](https://docs.openedx.org/projects/openedx-proposals/en/latest/processes/oep-0054-core-contributors.html#expansion-of-core-contributor-responsibilities) You can see examples here: [Search results for 'Rights Expansion' - Open edX discussions](https://discuss.openedx.org/search?q=Rights%20Expansion) tl;dr; is that an existing CC that is not a CC on a given repo, can request that access to be approved by the community. You need write access to a repo before you can take on being a maintainer of that repo. ---
