Hi, I’ve been checking some PRs to roscpp_core and it turned out that e.g. rostime package has Dirk Thomas written as maintainer in package.xml on noetic-devel branch, but Dirk told me he has nothing to do with this stack for a few years. And he doesn’t know who the current maintainers are.
So, does anybody know?
I hope we won’t need to dig the orphaned package process for core ROS 1 packages
After some discussions with @peci1 , we decided to give him write access to roscpp_core in order to do some maintenance work there. The basic idea is that any bug fixes can be reviewed and merged, and small features can also be approved and merged. However, large features shouldn’t be merged into ROS 1 anymore, to keep things as stable as possible.
Thanks to @peci1 for bringing this up, and for taking on some maintenance responsibilities.
