🎉🎉New Changes for Maintainers and Contributors.

After consulting @Shurtu-gal and @AayushSaini101 I am proposing some changes to how we maintain CLI. As the project grows and attracts more users, the number of incoming issues has increased significantly, making it challenging to manage. To address this, we need a structured triage system to efficiently distribute the workload among maintainers and ensure timely, effective solutions.

Divide the project into scope

Inspired by the approach used in the website repository, it would be beneficial to divide the project into distinct scopes and assign maintainers to each one. This way, maintainers can focus on specific areas rather than the entire project, helping to reduce individual workload and improve overall efficiency.

As of now we can create: (Considering https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/issues/1794)

• core
• commands
• server-api
• docs
• GitHub Action
• ci/cd

We create appropriate labels for these scopes.

Use GitHub project to triage

We already have a GitHub project which is good enough, I propose adding a new Custom Field that allows maintainers to assign themselves as the champion of an issue. This will clearly indicate who is taking responsibility, helping to avoid duplication of effort and allowing other maintainers to focus on different issues.

Contributors

A small update for contributors: if you're assigned to an issue but don’t open a PR, start work, or communicate with the responsible maintainer within a week, you may be unassigned so that someone else can take it on. We've observed that some contributors claim issues and then go inactive, which ends up blocking progress.

Weekly or bi-weekly meetings

To boost engagement with contributors and the community, I suggest we hold weekly meetings where maintainers can discuss ongoing issues, blockers, and share updates. These sessions can also be a space to hang out, exchange ideas, and connect with the community more informally.

😊 Lets have a discussion on this feel free to come with ideas and perspective.
