@boneskull et al I have been working with @wesleytodd and the package maintenance group. We have been successful in creating an ExpressJS triage team which labels issues for the express project. The aim is to create a group of repo maintainers that graduate through the ranks.
Does the Mocha project need assistance? I am asking I am trying to organize at the company I work for and we have started engaging with the OpenJS org. We want to get our developers more involved in contributing to existing projects.

The package maintenance team and the express maintainers have talks and I think that I may be able to help with a pipeline of able developers.

@ghinks thanks Glenn. tbh our issues get triaged pretty regularly, but we could always use help from people who understand the codebase and are able to merge PRs... not sure what the scope of the effort is

Notes from the session room

@boneskull do you recall if this session was recorded?

[boneskull]

I don’t know, I just used the built-in thing. If I was supposed to do something to record it, I didn’t know...

Closing this issue as no further action is needed.
