How project moderators handle requests from maintainers who need more permissions

Warning

This documentation page is for project moderators. It is not intended for maintainers who need more permissions on a project.

Info

To understand exactly which maintainers need to be contacted, see Terminology.

When a request to get more permissions on a project is created in the Drupal.org project maintainership queue by a project maintainer, project moderators will:

  1. Verify the issue contains the link to the project and to the issue created in the project issue queue.
  2. Verify the link for the issue in the project queue is for an issue which was kept in the project issue queue at least fourteen (14) days.
  3. Verify the issue created in the project issue queue contains the project name in the title.
  4. Verify that the person who posted the issue in the Drupal.org project maintainership queue is the person who created the issue in the project issue queue.
  5. Verify the issue reports the required permissions, and those permissions match the ones requested in the issue created in the project queue.

The request is not handled when the issue in the project queue does not contain the project name in the title or one or more of the previous conditions are not met.

For requests that are handled, project moderators will then:

  • Check if the project maintainers are still active on drupal.org, by either looking at when the last comment or post was created or at the last time the project maintainer logged in on drupal.org
  • If the project maintainers are still active on drupal.org, contact the project maintainers who are still active; after seven (7) days without any reply, a comment will be left asking the person who made the request if there is still interest in the done request
  • If project maintainers have not logged in in the past 365 days (or more), project moderators will change the permissions directly
