I'm really happy you sent this. I had forgotten about RedBaron and was going to start looking for a project exactly like it. Would you be interested in moving the project under the umbrella of the PyCQA? We could probably more easily integrate new contributors in an organization. I'll start taking a look at how I could help out with RedBaron since Flake8 will probably start depending on it or something like it.
Of course Baron is also welcome in addition to RedBaron. In particular, I'd love to firm up the Python 3 support (since Flake8 would need that).
If you need more PyCQA information, we have some documentation on http://meta.pycqa.org
Thanks a lot for this proposition :)
After reading the documentation, I am very tempted to say yes, but I have one small hesitation (not about the CoC, I'm actually quite happy that you have one): PyCQA define itself as "a loose organization of people who maintain projects in roughly the same domain: automatic style and quality reporting" but that's not exactly (red)baron is doing. While it's not very far away (like a low level more general tool that can be used to build those kind of tools), it's still a bit different, won't that be a problem?
Not really. That's a living document and we can amend it to use language that would make (Red)Baron feel more comfortable joining. When I wrote that, I was mostly describing the state of things rather than the future which was a bit silly of me. I feel like RedBaron would be a good fit, especially since I'm not exactly sure astroid on its own can be squeezed into that statement. Maybe we should just remove the "automatic style and reporting" bit to keep it a bit more general?
