🚧 RFM | Request for maintainers

The issue database behind rfm.sospedra.me

What's this?

RFM is a community-driven platform to track OSS repositories that need a maintainer or support.

This repository holds no code. It is the database. The website lives in sospedra/sospedra.me under apps/rfm.

Why?

You're interested in this project if you've been in any of these situations:

• As a user, you find an interesting library. But it seems unmaintained. How to know for sure?
• As a maintainer, you can't find anyone who wants to take the lead. Where to find them?
• As a developer, you want to contribute to the community but don't know where to start. Which projects need help?

How does it work?

1. Every request is an Issue labeled search in this repository.
2. The body of the issue is a JSON document with the searchable data.
3. The website reads the issues through the GitHub Search API. No server, no key.
4. The submit wizard pre-fills the issue, so the format stays consistent.

The full architecture is in the paper GaaS: GitHub as a Service.
