[pytest-dev] Looking for additional maintainers for pytest plugins

[Dave Hunt]

That’s very kind of you Brian, maybe a mention on Twitter would be good, but I don’t think it merits the attention of your podcast listeners (I really enjoyed the latest episode, by the way!)

I tried writing a tweet myself, but couldn’t find a satisfying way to word it. :D

Cheers,
Dave

The maintenance burden is very light, and releases are handled through Travis CI. I’ve already had some excellent help from Jim Brännlund (BeyondEvil), and have added him as a developer to a few of these. I’d appreciate any additional help from the community to support these plugins, and if you’re aware of somebody who would like to contribute please point them in my direction.

>> https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-selenium <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-selenium> - Jim is a developer, and helps out a lot with this one, he's taken care of much of the recent development and responding to issues
>> https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-html <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-html> - This is probably the most popular plugin I’ve been maintaining, and I think there’s a lot of potential for enhancements (great ideas already in the tracker)
>> https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-metadata <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-metadata> - Split off as a dependency for pytest-html, relatively small plugin and minimal maintenance needs. Jim is a developer for this plugin too
>> https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-variables <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-variables> - Another small plugin with very few maintenance needs
>> https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-repeat <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-repeat> - I don’t really maintain this one currently, but feel that it’s worth mentioning because I was one of the early contributors
