If you've been watching the Puppetlabs namespace on the Forge (or waiting on a pull request you opened) you've likely noticed that the pace of inclusion of community pull requests and fixes into the module releases has slowed over the last several cycles. That isn't how we want to serve the community that built these modules with us. The team has been reviewing how we can improve and this post is our commitment to do better. Here are the steps we're taking now:
Clear tiers with review cadences. Modules in the puppetlabs namespace will be grouped into three tiers, each with a defined review schedule (weekly, monthly, or quarterly).
Defining what “review cadence” means in practice. Every community PR gets engineering review in the next scheduled cycle for that module’s tier.
Showing progress monthly. We’ll continue to publish the monthly Modules Roundup covering what was released.
A Tiered Approach to Priorities
