The future of plugin?

[JellyBellyDev]

Hi @satrox28!
My name is Andrea and I work for @immobiliare.
I want to thank you so much for the amazing work done on this plugin.
We really appreciate your work and have also contributed to your plugin with my colleagues
@antoniomuso and @simonecorsi.
We also love backstage and the open source world and we are introducing it in the company in a very central way.
For some time now we have noticed a decrease in maintenance activities on this plugin.
If I may, may I ask why? Perhaps you are doing something else and are no longer interested?
We are currently stuck advancing our backstage version if this plugin also doesn't continue to evolve and keep up with the backstage advancements.
I wanted to ask what projects do you have for this plugin? Do you have a vision?
If you have little time to dedicate to it, can we give you a hand as maintainer of the plugin?
We are currently already maintaining another plugin in our organization: https://github.com/immobiliare/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth
Let me know and thanks again for all you do!
I await yours!
Best

Hi everyone!
We inform the community of users of this plugin that if we do not receive a response by Monday 5th December we will proceed with the publication of our fork in @immobiliare where we intend to maintain the plugin more actively.
We hope that the plugin user community will follow and support us.
Thanks and long live Backstage! 🚀

Hi @JellyBellyDev, Sorry for the late response!

I'm onboarding on the repo this week and we will review the pull requests within a week.
Hope that's ok. Sorry for the inconvenience!

updates?

Hi @gelopfalcon
I suggest you switch to our plugin: https://github.com/immobiliare/backstage-plugin-gitlab
We have already fixed several bugs and added API support for older versions of GitLab.
We are currently working on adding codeowners information and improving pipeline duration display.
We will release a new version this week or at the latest! 🚀
