Thank you for the reply Daniel. My concern is also in active maintenance in
case something breaks
With CI it's tricky because that would IMO kinda imply that it would have to become a
first-class citizen rather than best effort (disclaimer: I have not looked at
libvirt's CI for a
very long time so it probably changed a lot) which is easier in smaller teams/projects but
rather
difficult in large projects unless the project has a dedicated CI engineer :) (maintaining
an infra
for VMs is a huge part of the work).
, so there would be someone I can ping in case of need
and having someone responsible for the project.
Well, didn't you openly volunteer yourself to take up on the maintainer's role in
your original
message? :)
Probably not the answer you were looking for, but I guess the silver lining might be that
from my
time working on libvirt's CI I can tell you that whenever the thing was on fire, I had
no
problems finding someone willing to review a CI fix.
