Maintainership/help proposal

[simonsan]

Hi @lambda-fairy,

you stated here that this repo needs some help, how do you imagine helping with this repository?
MarcoIeni & me would like to help. We could start reviewing all past issues and merging/closing or give some feedback to all pending PRs.

Long-term, we would also like to turn this repo into a rust book that can be served with GitHub pages to the community.

Cheers,
Simonsan & MarcoIeni

Thanks @simonsan and @MarcoIeni!

I think your plan to clean up the backlog and make this into a book sounds good 🙂

I don't have admin permissions, though, so I can't add you myself. Perhaps @nrc or @Manishearth can help here?

@lambda-fairy gave you admin, feel free to make changes to perms

Thanks Manish!

@simonsan and @MarcoIeni I have invited both of you. Please let me know if it works!

@lambda-fairy Could you take a look if we need extra permissions to convert issues into discussions? Because I don't see this option here:
https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/discussions/managing-discussions-for-your-community/managing-discussions-in-your-repository#converting-issues-based-on-labels

There are some issues that are not real issues but opinionated takes on something or questions. I think discussions are perfect for this use case to ask questions on certain topics and get feedback from the community.

All of us have an "Admin" role, which is the highest level of access available. So I don't know what else I can do.

Ok, thank you for looking into this. I'll need to investigate on it further then. I wish you a happy new year. :-) 🎉

Maybe this is only possible for issues that are made after activating discussions or something else given the fact that it's still in a beta. We'll see.
