That's very admirable. So many (big) Open Source projects just don't prioritize their "Issues" count/triage process (or think they don't have the resources) and it becomes an outdated and duplication-riddled hell. Looking at you, #Nextcloud.
Iβm actually serious β Iβm struggling to manage issues on a much smaller OSS project. Have you ever written about how you handle issue management?
@b3n I don't think I've written specifically about issues, no. I have awesome contributors in the project and we always consider fixing issues top-prio. But also, to reduce the risk of new issues working on the foundation: readable code, more tests, fuzzing, documentation etc is also crucial.
A while ago I received an email with this question. I've been subscribed to your weekly newsletter for a while now, receiving your weekly updates every Friday. I'm writing because I admire your consistency, focus, and perseverance.
Are we again at the point where you derail the discussion, while you know perfectly well that you can continue using GitHub's CI without requiring the community to use GitHub and move development elsewhere?
Big curl just wants curl to run on anything!! π€
The code is portable, light on resources, and under a permissive license. I've been following this conspiracy for many years now, and curl continues to become better and more popular. π‘
You even go to great lengths to recruit new contributors to this global conspiracy! It's one of the most welcoming open source projects around. J'accuse!
Congratulations! It was such a relief to get to inbox zero in Flask, so I know how much effort this takes. Made it so much easier to make decisions and keep the count low moving forward too.
but you didn't just ban so many people on the bug bounty program because you thought their bug reports were all AI slop that no one does it anymore right?

in reply to BenBE • • •@benbe Unfortunately this can both ways (I'm not saying this applies to curl!).
It's way too easy to set up a bot to respond "There have been no updates in 2 weeks, we're closing this issue as obsolete."

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •@benbe Yes, that's why I clarified that this does not apply to curl.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Just mirror your repository to GitHub from Codeberg (or so). It will receive all pushes and trigger CI actions.
But I am also sure that GitHub CI is not a requirement at all. The cost argument is a red herring covering up the bribery.
