Package maintainers

Each package in HADES has one or two maintainers. These maintainers have the final responsibility and authority over their package. These are the expectations of package maintainers:

  • Represent the package in the HADES group discussions.
  • Ensure that issues are resolved in a timely manner.
  • Review and merge pull requests.
  • Create releases (and communicate upcoming releases to those that need to know).
  • Adapt the package to changes in its dependencies (including R packages, R itself, and the infrastructure).
  • Develop new functionality depending on the needs of the community.
  • Adhere to and enforce the HADES standards, such as the Developer Guidelines and Code Style Guide.
