Do I know anyone with experience maintaining and automating common OSS tasks?
I could use some help/ideas on
- Changelog(s) for dependabot (as a lib maintainer)
- Automating release notes, stale issues/PRs
- Good practices for contribution guides, docs, etc
#oss
For those following this thread, here's some interesting findings
Collection of super useful apps for GitHub projects: probot.github.io/apps/
Collection of awesome OSS readmes: github.com/matiassingers/…
Scheduling team reminders: help.github.com/en/github/sett…
GitHub Actions script: github.com/actions/github…
Collection of Issue Templates: github.com/devspace/aweso…
Interviews, slides, and videos from maintainers of popular projects: github.com/nayafia/awesom…
from @hackebrot - GitHub Labels CLI to manage, fetch, and sync labels from existing repos

After some research I’ve got what I needed the most.
Docs: I’ll stick with portray and pdoc3 for Python - Great balance with automated API reference, and hand written docs
Changelogs: one repo per powertools, partially automated, plus this standard
keepachangelog.com
contributions: I’ll experiment with @GitPodsIO to have repeatable envs with style guides, linters, formatters, extensions, incl guides/templates
Repo/community management, I’ll learn more from those lovely folks who sent me a DM ;)
Maybe this should be written down somewhere
