Missing accounts (committers)

[mocobeta]

I've tried to identify committers' (https://projects.apache.org/committee.html?lucene) GitHub accounts as far as possible. Several accounts were found (I added them to the mapping file), but there are still missing persons/accounts.

• Bernhard Messer
• Michael Busch
  • could be https://github.com/michaelbusch ?
• Doron Cohen
  • could be https://github.com/doron-cohen or https://github.com/cdoronc or https://github.com/doronchn or https://github.com/doroncohen9 or https://github.com/doroncoh3n or https://github.com/docohen ?
• Gregory Chanan
• Karl Wright
• Otis Gospodnetic
• Stefan Matheis
• Wolfgang Hoschek
  • could be https://github.com/whoschek ?

This list includes people who are/were very active in Lucene, but I gave up further research - possibly they don't use github at all.

If you have any information please let me know. cc @mikemccand

One posisbility: Grep through the whole history of the (old) lucene-solr repository searching for their name as committer/author. If you found a hit, copy the commit id and then look up this exact commit using Github Web UI. If the person is then hotlinked there, you found a match. Otherwise there's no way to fix this.

Karl Wright is daddywri in both places (plus a couple email addresses) -- I'll push a change.

• Otis Gospodnetic

Otis is @otisg on GitHub (I recognize him) -- I'll add his mapping.

[mocobeta]

Thank you @mikemccand.

Otis is @otisg on GitHub (I recognize him) -- I'll add his mapping.

Sorry, I should have recognized it - actually the script has found the account as a candidate. Looks like I failed to manually identify the association (there's just one difference between Otis Gospodnetic and Otis Gospodnetić, a diacritic).

Karl Wright is daddywri in both places (plus a couple email addresses) -- I'll push a change.

For this mapping, it was impossible to detect it by the account search strategy I wrote. There are two Jira accounts, kwright@metacarta.com and daddywri; in Lucene Jira, only the former has been used as issue reporters, and the latter has not appeared even in the candidate list. The past extensive account renaming could affect here, I think we have many similar cases.

Manual account identification/verification is the most time- and energy-consuming task in the entire work (it took two hours for me only for <100 committers). I don't think we can do the same for the 2000+ contributors, although it'd be technically possible. Maybe I'll try to identify the mapping of the top 100 or 200 contributors if I'm able to take the time.

Thanks for your suggestion - I have already considered apache/lucene history but have not looked at the lucene-solr repo yet. I'll try it if I can find enough energy for this.

I think I found Stefan Matheis's GH account - https://github.com/steffkes.
added in b91ce0c.

@whoschek is Wolfgang Hoschek. I know him from the picture. Also the repositories listed in his account look fine.

Bernhard Messer is not on GitHub. He is no longer active. He works as senior/founder at Intrafind Software. His colleague Christoph Goller (same company) I meet regularily, but as far as I know also has no GitHub account. As far as I remember, they use Gitlab.

Michael Busch was active in Lucene before Git was used. He worked for Twitter and they had no public repositories. Nowadays he's not active in Lucene anymore and I did not find any account.

The Doron Cohen ones all look wrong.

Thank you @uschindler - added in 836f08a.

There is one more issue for committers - many committers do not associate their GitHub accounts with the ASF organization, which means they have no push access to GitHub apache/lucene repository and we cannot "assign" them to GitHub issues.

I think we'd need to ask committers to link their GitHub account with your ASF account.

Hi Uwe, Yeah, that's me. Thanks! Wolfgang Hoschek

I sent an email to committers whose GH account is not linked to any ASF account yet.

I'm closing this. Thanks for your help.

Hi @sigram, @areek, @ChrisHegarty, @cmoen, @GregBowyer, @hgadre, @chatman, @DaddyWri, @martijnvg, @otisg, @stanislawosinski, @ovalhub and @whoschek:

I wanted to let you know that I sent an email (DM) about the coming Lucene's GitHub issue migration to your @apache.org email address. To make the migration complete, we need your action. Three minutes would be sufficient - please check your inbox.
Thank you.

Hi Tomoko, I added my GitHub user name at id.apache.org yesterday, this is what I see when I log in again:  I don't see Apache in my list of GitHub organizations yet though. Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks, Stanislaw

[uschindler]

@stanislawosinski it is more important to actually link the accounts! https://gitbox.apache.org/boxer/

The process is there. The id.apache.org is only to setup the user names. The actual linking should be done on gitbox. Keep in mind that you need 2FA enabled in your GitHub account to actually do this.

For me it looks like this:

[mocobeta]

@stanislawosinski thank you for your cooperation!

And thanks @uschindler for the information. I will send a follow-up email to note about MFA.

[stanislawosinski]

Thanks, @uschindler! I've just set up the link and see myself as Apache member on GitHub.

[martijnvg]

I've linked my gh and asf accounts:

Thank you @martijnvg.
