I can help maintain this role

[rbjorklin]

As of right now there are 46 PRs wating to be merged, I'm sure not all of them are in a good state anymore but then they should be closed. My intention is to merge as many as possible of the oustanding PRs unless there are objections to doing that.

It would be great if all the people willing to help out could chime in here!

I'm very concerned that such a beautiful role would go unmaintained for too long, especially given the release pace of Ansible.

Happy to help out from time to time.

[gclough]

I've recently been appointed to help cleanup this role, as I have good experience with PostgreSQL and a modicum of Ansible skills. I've done an initial pass on the outstanding PR's, closed some, and reinvigorated others.

I'll start on the issues soon, and hopefully we can get the pulse of this project back to a steady clip.

That's awesome @gclough! I have an internal PR that adds replication with repmgr that's waiting for approval to be open sourced which I hope can be of use to others. It would make me very happy if the PRs for Postgres 11 support could be merged soonish:tm:

[nchudleigh]

@rbjorklin @gclough Willing to help with this as well, I cannot commit to maintaining but can jump in on PRs where needed. Let me know where I can help out. I am big on support / validation of latest versions of Postgres (11, 10.7) and Ubuntu (18.04, 18.10)

[gclough]

Thanks @nchudleigh. I'm trying to review/merge any good quality PR's, and close those that are old/broken and orphaned.

If you could review/comment on any PR's, then that would be very helpful.

[nchudleigh]

Awesome, should be able to take a look at a couple this week.

[nchudleigh]

@rbjorklin I have a couple PRs that could use a look if you have time.

#421 (needs review)
#420 (needs help with automated test suite error, details in PR)

[moshthepitt]

I'd also be willing to help maintain this role. I use it a lot!

[gclough]

Thanks @moshthepitt . If you could review/comment on any outstanding PR's, that would be great. I did a pass on all of them a month ago, but I'm not sure if any should be retired, rebased, or are suitable for merge.

[maglub]

I am happy to pitch in as well. Will go through the pull requests and make some comments.

[goetzk]

Depending on the required commitment I'm willing to help maintain this role while I'm using it - which I will be for a period of time. I've subscribed to this issue so will keep an eye on it for updates.

[gclough]

Thanks @goetzk . The first thing we would like to do is review/comment/fix any of the outstanding PR's. There's some good stuff in there, but I've not got the time to do it justice.

If you could reach out to the author, and make sure it's:

1. Adding something worthwhile
2. Functional
3. Matches the existing coding style

If you have something you think is ready, please flag it up to me and I can merge if necessary.

This Thead continues in #498 with more up-to-date comments.

Would close this one @gclough
