How to maintain a gnome-extension collaboratively?

30 views Asked by At

The gnome-shell-extensions site supports only personal accounts for uploading. How can i do collaborative development with multiple maintainers for an extension, without sharing account credentials?

For instance:

  • GitHub does that with "collaborators" or "organizations".
  • PyPi supports x2 collaborator roles: owner & maintainer

At this time, there is no support for organization accounts on extensions.gnome.org. This is planned as part of the long running Rethinking extensions.gnome.org (see #43).

For now, the best suggestion is to just delegate release duties to one member. Other than that, shared credentials are unfortunately necessary for now.
