Maintainer Interest Sign-up

[williamboman]

As part of the upcoming v2.0 release of mason.nvim, I'm now looking for people who would be interested in helping maintain the project, primarily the core registry but also other repositories, both existing and new. Please reply to this discussion if you're interested! If you have specific areas where you'd like to contribute, please include that as well. People with a history of contributions to Mason or other open-source projects are especially welcome to apply.

Some potential future projects that I find particularly interesting are:

• Hardening the supply chain (socket.dev, sigstore.dev, slsa.dev, snyk.io, etc.)
• A custom-built version upgrade bot to replace Renovate (I've already started this to support openvsx sources)
• Improving the public website
• Writing more documentation 🙃, and hosting it on the public website
• Expanding and scaling the API
• Support for managing Neovim plugins
• Hosting prebuilt packages to remove install dependencies
• Expanding support for more types of clients

edit 2025-03-25: Initial invitations have been sent out to a selected group of people who have expressed interest. I/we will keep monitoring this thread for future maintainer additions!

Hello! I'm interested in helping out! I can write docs or help maintain the registry and I know some lua!

[Conarius]

I'm definitely interested. Can help with documentation and the core registry!

[mehalter]

I'm interested in helping out with the maintenance of the core registry and can also help out with docs as well. I'm the core maintainer of AstroNvim, so success of this project is very much in my greatest interest!

[AdrienLemaire]

as a lazyvim user heavily depending on mason, I'm interested in better understanding/using this tool. I could help with the registry pr reviews, given I fix my nixos local setup for testing prs.

[tristan957]

I can probably be most reliable in helping to maintain packages I use in the registry. I have a history of open source contributions to projects. I'm open to helping in other parts of the project if necessary.

Unfortunately time is not infinite, as all of us know, so its hard to say how much I could dedicate to this project, given the other projects that I'm currently involved in too.

I am very interested in seeing this project continue to succeed 😄

Hey, I would like to stick my hat in the ring to help out/be a maintainer :)

I don't really mind where I end up, in the sense I'll help where you need me but I do find hardening the supply chain very interesting.

I would also be willing to help. I have a strong interest in LSP and DevEx with the tooling around it. I have made contributions to Neovim Core and have some reasonable popular (although low maintence) plugins.

I also have a interest in DevOps and Security. So would love to explore what we can do then make the registry both flexible and secure/trusted

[TanglingTreats]

This is cool, I haven't had a long history in contributing to open-source projects but I'd really like to help out. I'm interested in tooling projects myself and I'd love to be part of this.

[anaypurohit0907]

I'd Like to help. i dont mind doing any of the tasks, let me know where help is needed and i'll try my best

[zukuo]

Hey! Would love to help out where need be - have some experience with dev tooling and Lua plugins, so overall would be excited to take part in this

[dynamotn]

I would like to help. I have experience as a DevSecOps engineer, so I can help to implement any features that you listed.

[chrisgrieser]

I'd be open to help out. Due to being in the final phase of my PhD project, I won't have time to be very active, but I am happy to help out with smaller contributions.

• I authored 15+ nvim plugins, so I can help out with writing/reviewing lua code for the mason plugin itself.
• I created a bunch of PRs adding new packages to the mason registry, so reviewing submissions for new packages is something I can easily help out with.

I haven’t contributed much to other open sources projects but I’m trying to contribute more and I'd like to help out. I have experience with Lua from extensively tweaking my neovim config. I would be willing to work on anything really
