[Bioc-devel] Multiple Bioconductor Maintainers?

[Warden, Charles]

Hi Valarie,

Thank you for your response.

I didn’t know about the git.bioconductor.org commit option, so I will keep this in mind.  I am currently pushing updates from my github account, so that may also be a good idea (but the group situation is a little complicated).

This was certainly very helpful!

Thanks again,
Charles

Hi Charles,

We want just one person in the 'Maintainer' field in DESCRIPTION so there is a single point of contact.

You can give multiple people commit access to the package on the git.bioconductor.org server. To do this, write this list (bioc-devel) and provide the emails and github usernames of the persons to add. Alternatively you could add these other people as collaborators on your github account - this would allow multiple active developers but restrict one person pushing to the git.bioconductor.org server.

Hi,

Somebody asked if they could be added as a maintainer for a Bioconductor package.  Is it possible to have more than one maintainer for a package?

My understanding was that packages were typically maintained by one person, but I wanted to double-check.  Otherwise, I see that I can add multiple authors (with e-mail addresses), which might be OK in this case.

Thanks,
Charles
