[pytest-dev] Adding plugins to pytest-dev

[Ringo De Smet]

Floris,

Let me pass on how other communities manage Github teams, repositories and
shared maintenance. Here is the example from the Chef (config management
tool) community:

https://github.com/sous-chefs/terraform-github-org

They have everything scripted with Terraform[1] in a public read only repo
so everybody can see who the maintainers are for each repo.
