MAINTAINERS: suggest myself as co-maintainer for Block Jobs

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: suggest myself as co-maintainer for Block Jobs

Posted by Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy 3 years, 3 months ago

I'm developing Qemu backup for several years, and finally new backup
architecture, including block-copy generic engine and backup-top filter
landed upstream, great thanks to reviewers and especially to
Max Reitz!

I also have plans of moving other block-jobs onto block-copy, so that
we finally have one generic block copying path, fast and well-formed.

So, now I suggest to bring all parts of backup architecture into
"Block Jobs" subsystem (actually, aio_task is shared with qcow2 and
qemu-co-shared-resource can be reused somewhere else, but I'd keep an
eye on them in context of block-jobs) and add myself as co-maintainer.

Thanks!

Could someone pull it?

I don't have any signed PGP key for now, to send pull requests :\  Interesting, could I get one while sitting in Moscow?

I've put it in my block branch (with s/suggest myself/Add Vladimir/ in
the subject line), but I don't know when I'll send the next pull
request. If someone else sends one first, feel free to include it with:

If you're planning to send pull requests, should a git tree of yours be
added to the MAINTAINERS sections, too?

I didn't add it because of signed key absence. As it turned out, Denis Lunev (my boss) already has a signed key, so it's not a problem.

I think it's appropriate to add

I've added it to the patch in my queue. Now you just need to actually
create that branch. :-)

Unfortunately, Den doesn't have an access to his private key, so this variant doesn't work. So, probably someone could recognize me in a video call?

My key is here: http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?search=Vladimir+Sementsov-Ogievskiy&fingerprint=on&op=index  (note that there is only one Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy, so I can't imagine who can that be other than me :)

I'm not sure what protocol here is, but you and I and several others met 
face to face in edinburgh and could at least weakly identify you. Maybe 
we can sign with a low level of trust for now, and improve it when we 
get a chance to do a real key signing meetup later?

I think Peter needs to trust your key, ultimately, so I think it's up to 
him for what criteria he will personally trust.

Hmm this does point somewhat to a hole in our maintainer process that has
previously relied on semi-regular physical meet-up for key signing
purposes. It might be some time before we return to a new normal. Are
there any other maintainers in Moscow that you could safely meet for a
socially distanced key-signing?

AFAIK, we've never actually set expectations for what process a key
signing must use. Merely that key should be signed by one or more
people who are already QEMU maintainers. It is more or less up to
the person signing the key what hoops they want to jump through
before adding their signature.

So while physically meeting is a traditional standard, some might
be fine to do key signing verification over a video conference
system, especially if both sides already know each other by sight
after previous physical meetings.

Regards,
Daniel
