--===============0974863722868216139== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="000000000000e636eb064cec78cc" --000000000000e636eb064cec78cc Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear grub-devel, As you are all aware, after many years of great work, Daniel Kiper has stepped down as the main GRUB maintainer. With his prior approval, as well as that of the other maintainers, Vladimir and Alex, GRUB is moving to freedesktop, where it will benefit from modern development tools like MRs and CI for every merge request, as well as clear patch tracking. You can find the repo at: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gnu-grub/grub/ and the new main website at: https://gnu-grub.freedesktop.org/ (still a WIP). We will update the gnu website, etc., in the coming days. Leo will be taking over Daniel's technical duties, and Marta will help with organization, communication, etc. Both of us have added our PGP keys to the SECURITY file, and are therefore available as security contacts in case a potential vulnerability is found. We plan to work closely with GRUB maintainers from other distros as well as all unaffiliated GRUB enthusiasts. Please reach out with questions, issues, thoughts, and ideas. :) Effective immediately, you can open MRs on gitlab instead of sending patches here. We will continue to monitor this list for about a month, but encourage all GRUB contributors to use the new workflow instead. In order to contribute, you will need to have a gitlab account, and you will additionally need to have your account verified, as described here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/wikis/home This is a minor inconvenience, but you should get verified quickly. We will automatically create MRs from patch sets that were already sent to this mailing list. If you don't wish to have your prior unmerged contribution automatically converted, please reply with "I am opting out of automated patch processing." Thank you for your contributions to GRUB so far, and please join us on this exciting next step!
