CONTRIBUTING.md:6

• There’s an extra hyphen and inconsistent indentation before the 'Becoming a collaborator' entry, which breaks the list structure; remove the redundant '-' to fix formatting.

This feels very odd to put inside the site app when it is an entirely meta thing to the repo/organisation, nothing to do with the production site?

[avivkeller]

I just figured I'd put it in the same directory as lighthouse, but I can move it.

I agree. But at the same time, there's no such... hmm.. meta repo for the website team or web-infra team, so no idea where this should live. @bmuenzenmeyer we could create a repo on nodejs/web-team as a meta space for the website and web-infra teams.

[avivkeller]

WDYT about storing a list of the current members in the GOVERNANCE file?

That would eliminate the need to use a custom token, and we could just use the default actions token?

(This is what is done in core)

[MattIPv4]

Fwiw, I'm fine with this living in .github/scripts -- I think this repo is still canonically the right place, and that directory seems like a logical location to me 👍

This does seem easier than needing a custom token. I do wonder if something should be done more centrally to have all the (public) teams in code somewhere.

We have a monorepo now. It would be easy to make a module here that only serves as a tooling/scripts location.

Heck, api-docs-tooling could even migrate.
The more we add to the monorepo the more value it (theoretically) provides

I don't think the website repo should be a "fit everything" in one repository. There should be separation of concerns IMO. And I do prefer having a meta-repo for the administrative side of things of the web teams.

[ovflowd]

I'd like to formally block this PR (the PR itself is fine) -- I just want to have the @nodejs/nodejs-website and @nodejs/web-infra team to give a 👍 or 👎 if this should live here or within a meta repository.

• 👍 if you want this script on the WEBSITE repository
• 👎 if you want this script on a meta management repository for the WEBSITE TEAM

[avivkeller]

Also, currently, this only checks commits, since there isn't a decent way to check the timestamp of a PR contribution.

We can check if they've commented on a PR/issue that's been updated in the past twelve months, or we can leave it as it (leaving it as is matches node core).

As is matching: 8 inactive
w/ additional check: 1 inactive

@ovflowd Are you satisfied with the outcome of the vote?

Personally, I think we should land this here, setup a common repository to store all of our re-used actions (i.e. dependency-review and scorecard, etc). Once that's all setup, we can migrate this there (although, since it's not really re-used, it might not belong there).

There wasn't even enough time yet. Not everyone has voted. Let's wait 48 more hours.

[bmuenzenmeyer]

non blocking comments but perhaps worth adding

[ovflowd]

Alrighty, vote passed. @avivkeller feel free to merge :)
