AiBrix Mailing List#

The official AIBrix mailing list is hosted on Google Groups at maintainers@aibrix.ai.

Becoming a Maintainer#

We appreciate contributors who consistently help improve AIBrix. If you’ve been actively contributing, consider becoming a Maintainer — a role with broader responsibilities and deeper involvement in the project.

What is a Maintainer?#

Maintainers play a key role in keeping AIBrix healthy and growing. They help with:

  • Reviewing and merging Pull Requests

  • Triaging issues and managing labels

  • Shaping the project roadmap and priorities

  • Supporting new contributors and community members

  • Ensuring code quality and consistency across the codebase

Promotion Criteria#

We promote contributors to maintainers based on merit and sustained contribution. Here’s what we look for:

  • Consistent Contributions: You’ve submitted several high-quality PRs (code or docs) that have been merged.

  • Helpful Reviews: You’ve reviewed and commented constructively on other contributors’ PRs.

  • Community Engagement: You actively participate in GitHub issues, Slack discussions, or RFC reviews.

  • Responsibility and Ownership: You demonstrate initiative in identifying problems and proposing improvements.

There is no strict rule on the number of contributions — we evaluate holistically.

How to Become a Maintainer#

If you meet the above criteria and are interested in taking on the maintainer role:

  1. Let us know! You can:

  2. We’ll initiate a lightweight evaluation based on your recent contributions, engagement, and readiness to take on responsibilities.

  3. Once approved, we’ll:

    • Grant you write access to the repository.

    • Add you to the @aibrix-maintainers team.

    • Invite you to internal roadmap discussions if applicable.

  4. Open source is a marathon, not a sprint. If you ever need to step back temporarily or permanently:

    • Just let us know — no hard feelings.

    • You can always return when you’re ready.

Thank you for helping us grow AIBrix together!
