I love GitHub Actions, so much so I’ve published lots of Actions on the Marketplace. I love that I can contribute to better pipelines for all.

That said, I have frustrations with the management of the GitHub Actions repositories: which is to say, there isn’t any. Most issues and Pull Requests languish, without acknowledgement or engagement.

I appreciate that managing issues and contributions is a full time job, and your team probably doesn’t have capacity right now: if you could magic up some capacity, that would be great, but… a more realistic request would be to evaluate capacity and follow Terraforms lead in being open about pausing contributions —- rather than READMEs that encourage contributions, which (despite the best of intentions) will never be reviewed.

e.g: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/terraform-community-contribut...

Thanks :-)



We’ve archived a few repos in the last couple months because of this. A we’ll also look at the contributor changes you suggested.
