Resolve Status of Projects Lagging in Onboarding

Open presidentoor opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

OpenSSF Projects cannot lag in signing the Charter and the Contributor Agreement (CA). These items confirm their onboarding as projects of the OpenSSF. Without these documents these projects have no official claim to being a part of the OpenSSF and as such receive no benefits per the Gives and Gets exercise. We require the TACs recommendation on the approach to resolving the status of these onboarding items. Suggested pathways (a hybrid of which may be applicable) include:

  1. Automatically archiving the project after one quarter of non-responsiveness to signing the charter and CA.
  2. Require reporting from the sponsoring WGs during regular TAC updates as to the onboarding status of Projects that WGs sponsor.
  3. Reassign maintainership of the project (e.g., by forking or similar approach) if the TAC and/or WG believes the project is worth continuing as initially proposed.

Thoughts welcome on how we should handle this.
