[associated vote ended on 2023-01-24] Unmaintained collection: community.google

[mariolenz]

Summary

The community.google collection looks unmaintained / abandoned to me:

• the CI has been failing since Oct 08, 2021
• No reaction on Action required: Add stable-2.13 to the test matrix ansible-collections/community.google#18, Sanity tests failing in community.google ansible-collections/community.google#19 and Collection CI related actions needed ansible-collections/community.google#20
• no new release since 2 years

The whole process was written in mind with also community.google, I wonder why we forgot to actually start the process for this earlier :)

[felixfontein]

I think we waited long enough and can start voting on this :)

[mariolenz]

Vote happens in #181

[mariolenz]

I counted votes:
8 x +1 from SC (mariolenz felixfontein russoz Andersson007 markuman acozine gotmax23 briantist)
4 x +1 from community (oraNod maxamillion samccann tima)

Can someone from the Steering Committee confirm?

[felixfontein]

I can confirm these numbers.

[mariolenz]

In that case the proposal has been accepted and we will announce to remove the collection from Ansible 9.

I will create a PR for ansible-build-data and an announcement for Bullhorn later this day.

Thanks all!

[mariolenz]

Closing in favor of ansible-community/ansible-build-data#198.

[felixfontein]

Re-opening as Ansible 9.0.0 isn't in feature freeze.
