Proposal to mark etcd-io/cetcd as public archive
Sub issue under https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/issues/16367.
This etcd sub-project has been inactive for a significant period, with the last meaningful activity occurring in 2016. Given the lack of recent contributions, I propose marking this repository as a public archive.
This action would clearly communicate to the community that the project is no longer actively maintained.
Reasoning:
-
Inactivity: The repository has not seen any substantial activity, such as code commits or issue resolutions, for the past seven years.
-
Clarity: Marking the repository as a public archive would provide clarity to users and potential contributors. It indicates that the project is in a dormant state and that any forks or contributions would likely not be integrated.
-
Resource Allocation: Keeping inactive repositories in the active organization may create confusion and require unnecessary resource allocation responding to issues etc.
Next steps
I kindly request @etcd-io/maintainers-etcd and previous main subproject contributor @heyitsanthony review the proposal and please provide feedback.
Checking in on this issue we now have 3/6 etcd-io/etcd maintainers approving plus support from the most recent project contributor (thanks @crawford).
@wenjiaswe Can you please take a look and give this an lgtm if all good to you? That would give us maintainer majority to proceed.
Alternative option is waiting until lazy consensus date of 17th October.
Thanks @wenjiaswe. With maintainer majority let's push ahead with marking this repository as a public archive.
