Maintainer team for stdlib

[awvwgk]

This is a follow up from https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/1506 and #447.

To get the ball rolling I'm starting this thread here. I'd propose the following strategy:

1. anyone interested in taking up maintainer responsibility for stdlib can volunteer here
2. we create a (public) maintainer team for the respective projects in GitHub,
   this allows tagging @fortran-lang/stdlib or similar in issues or PRs
3. we review the repository for:
   • updating the contribution guidelines, README and docs
   • adding a (near future) roadmap to the project wiki

The scope for the stdlib maintainers was briefly discussed at the July 2021 monthly call:

• responsible to search and assign reviewers for PRs (make sure no PR is overlooked, ...)
• help new contributors with their first contribution (or find / assign somebody for this)
• help new reviewers with their first review (or find / assign somebody for this)
• keep the issue tracker and the PR labels up-to-date (or find / assign somebody for this)
• set a project road-map and prioritize parts of stdlib development

Anything else to add here?

Preferably we find a team of three or more that are interested to take a lead here and organize stdlib.

Thanks @awvwgk. I was on holidays the last few weeks, and it seems that I have a lot to catch up :)

Sounds good to me, and well needed. I volunteer to be on the maintainer team.
It would maybe good to assign some topics to each maintainer (e.g. based on their background/preferences/...) to check if all possible topics in stdlib are covered and to be sure that all issues will be considered by at least one maintainer.

I am available to be on the maintainer team if needed.

@ivan-pi you've been quite active with stdlib since the start. Can we count on you as a maintainer?

[ivan-pi]

Yes, I was planning to reply soon.

[awvwgk]

I created @fortran-lang/stdlib, this team can now be mentioned here and requested for reviews to ping all members.

Hi, I wanted to know if the team is open to taking more volunteers? If so, I would like to join :)

[jvdp1]

@jalvesz additional help will be appreciated. So I support it!

@milancurcic @14NGiestas @Jim-215-Fisher @gareth-nx Do you agree to add @jalvesz to the stdlib maintainer team?

[milancurcic]

I fully agree, great addition, and I should be removed due to inactivity. Thank you @jalvesz!!

[jvdp1]

@milancurcic Could you add @jalvesz to the maintainer team, please (I don't have the rights to do it). Thanks!
