Upcoming stabilization work and call for co-maintainers

[eyalgal]

Starting today (10/20/2025), we’re dedicating one month to stabilizing this project, focusing on high-priority PRs and issues.

During this time, you can expect increased activity and engagement from the GitHub team.

You can track what we're working on and our progress on this board.

We are also seeking co-maintainers from the community to help with ongoing maintenance. If you're interested, please reply to this discussion.

Basic criteria for co-maintainers:

• Familiarity with Terraform and the GitHub API
• Ability to review code, manage issues, and respond to community questions
• Commitment to regular activity (suggest at least a few hours per week)
• Respectful and constructive communication with contributors and users
• Willingness to collaborate with the existing maintainers and follow project guidelines

Thanks for your support.

I am interested and would be happy to be a co-maintainer.

Majority of my experience and code lies in other work accounts so please don't use this account as a reference for my work.

I'd be more than happy to have a discussion to see if I'm eligible or not.

Hi @eyalgal
Maybe this one is better to rephrase

Familiarity with Terraform and the GitHub API

To something like:
Familiarity with Terraform plugin SDK, Golang and the GitHub API

@nickfloyd I got an invitation but it was cancelled?

I issued another one would you mind looking at the invites again: https://github.com/integrations/terraform-provider-github/invitations

Thanks @nickfloyd, all sorted. I had to use a browser as it wasn't working in my Android app.

I'm excited to share that version v6.7.0 of the provider has just been released! 🎉

This is a major release and one of the few planned soon as we focus on stabilizing the project.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed, whether through code, feedback, or testing, and to all who have reached out (both here and directly) to help maintain and improve this project. Your support and willingness to get involved are invaluable.

Let’s keep up the great momentum! 🚀

Wrapped up the first week of our month-long stabilization sprint and call for co-maintainers on the Terraform provider project! 🚀

First and foremost, I want to thank the community for your incredible engagement and trust. We already have several community members actively helping, and more joining soon. We're also identifying internal contributors and planning for the “day after” this sprint, so we can build a robust network of maintainers to keep this project healthy for the long haul.

Highlights from Week 1:

• Released v6.7.0 — our first release since February!
• Closed 28 issues and merged 36 PRs 🎉
• Welcomed 2 new external maintainers who are already contributing
• 2 more maintainers are onboarding and ramping up
• 💥 Huge shout-out to @nickfloyd for the amazing work!

We’ve already completed over 60% of our planned work (milestone progress), with 20 medium-to-significant effort items still open. @nickfloyd is tackling the go-github upgrade, and we’re looking for help with the rest of the milestone’s open issues.

If you’d like to get involved, please comment here, reach out on LinkedIn, or comment/tag me on a specific issue you’re interested in!

Thanks again for your support and have a great weekend! 🌟
