GitHub Copilot Enterprise for Maintainers #6387

Open

Description

@palnabarun

CNCF Project Maintainers are eligible to use GitHub Copilot Enterprise. But, most of the SIG Leads do not have a Service account

To ease the process, ContribEx Leads will open the Service Request for you!

If you want access, please chime in the issue with a comment.

See https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/CD6LAC15M/p1778833485549839 for a discussion.

    Coming late to the party, can you request one for me too? Thanks in advance.

    @ajaysundark

    Could you request one for me, on behalf of kubernetes-sigs/node-readiness-controller?

    Thanks for setting this up. This will help us manage the PR review bandwidth.

    I want in - we are hamstringing our own project.

    from the CNCF side, we just need an SD ticket with a list of GitHub handles 👍

    I believe @palnabarun has just filed one. I can attest that the process is very lightweight having filed one previously.

    The SD ticket is now complete. We could get access for everyone in this thread other than @ajaysundark since Ajay is not a named maintainer in https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/project-maintainers.csv.

    @BenTheElder do you think Steering can liaison with CNCF for getting access to Subproject Owners as well?

    Happy to raise it, but I'll need input from the others.


    I will say: We already know a new self-service method of managing maintainers is starting to roll out to projects, and we gave some feedback previously. I expect that will streamline this sort of thing and trigger a revisit of what is in scope (versus the previous loose agreement with CNCF to do Chairs, Techleads, and Committee members which dramatically increased our numbers).

    (Not rolled out to Kubernetes yet)


    @palnabarun mind taking a look at this related issue #6380 (NOT in my capacity as steering, in my capacity as a community member / maintainer).

    I thought about listing @k8s-ci-robot here cheekily, but I think it's a slightly different conversation.

    I have mentioned it to CNCF staff to check if it might be reasonable (sounds like it should be fine), but not officially as from the project as I believe this to be SIG Contributor Experience's domain (I suspect SIG Testing will have some work to do to help integrate, with yet another hat 🙃 ).

    Can i get access as well please for the dra-driver-nvidia-gpu repository? We could certainly use all the help we can get with reviews. cc @dims

    I'd like access. Thanks. @palnabarun

    @shivamerla the access is for maintainer's Github account and not for a specific repo. CNCF is giving access to maintainers named in http://maintainers.cncf.io/.

    @pacoxu I am working on your request.
