Hello,
The feedback collection phase of this quarter's code stewardship reviews has closed. Thank you to all those that provided feedback about the items under review[0] and the process[1] itself. The next step in this process[1] will be to summarize the feedback and review it with the WMF CPO and CTO. Additional updates to follow.
There's been some discussion regarding this process and its purpose, I wanted to take a moment to help clarify. Although the genesis of this process was the Sunsetting Working Group[2], the process itself isn't focused on sunsetting as the primary outcome. The primary objective of the process is to help bring to light areas of code that currently lack stewardship and define a course of action.
This is a process that we hope will give the both the Foundation and broader community an avenue to raise stewardship concerns which could in-turn affect the Foundation's planning.
As this is a new process, I'm sure there will be adjustments as we go through it the first few times.
Cheers,
JR
