Remove username from maintainer list of a feedstock
Comment:
Hello @conda-forge/core team,
I tried looking into documentation/bot commands to remove a username from a feedstock's maintainer list. I could not find any. Would it be possible to get help with this?
I am looking to remove a particular user from the nrtk-feedstock repo and recipe: https://github.com/conda-forge/nrtk-feedstock/tree/main
Assuming you have a valid reason for removing a feedstock maintainer, I believe you would just open a PR that removed the user from the recipe and from .github/CODEOWNERS. The PR title should begin with [ci skip]. This reverses what our bot does when you request it to add a co-maintainer. The README will be updated the next time the feedstock is re-rendered after the change (let this happen in a version bump).
That being said, I think co-maintainers are rarely removed and usually only after they've requested removal. Why do you want to remove a maintainer in this case?
One of the co-maintainers would not contributing or actively maintaining the feedstock moving forward. Hence wanted to put in a question on what the due process for removing a maintainer was. (I should have probably started with the "why" first). Sorry about not adding in the context initially.
