Let dww become a comaintainer for auto_nodetitle [#2020921]

I'm using this module a lot -- it serves an important need and mostly works great. Thanks for creating and sharing it!

However the "Actively maintained" tag on the project page is somewhat misleading. ;)

RTBC queue (6):
https://drupal.org/project/issues/auto_nodetitle?status=14

Needs review queue (16):
https://drupal.org/project/issues/auto_nodetitle?status=8

Last commit was Sept 2011:
https://drupal.org/node/81299/commits

@fago:

A) I'm at least as "guilty" of this behavior on some of my own modules, so I totally understand how/why this happens, and point all this out with no judgement whatsoever. Just stating the facts. ;) I know you're incredibly busy with D8 these days (wish I could say the same about myself).

B) I don't have time/interest in a massive investment in this module, either, so I can't promise to solve everything. However, I use this on some projects I really care about, I have a keen interest in keeping this module healthy and strong.

C) I'm a very careful and thorough coder/reviewer/committer. I promise to do a good job with whatever effort I can put into this.

D) I'm not interested in bloating this module or adding a ton of bells and whistles. I just want to fix bugs and add important features that are going to help a lot of people (e.g. #1719948: Integration with inline entity form)

So, what do you think? Want some help clearing out the patch queue and getting a 7.x-1.1 out?

Thanks!
-Derek

I agree this module is really important for most developers so should be updated more often ;), we all know the great effort you are doing in D8 and think @dww would be a great maintainer and continue the work.

Personally I think we should deprecate the module and encourage people to be using https://drupal.org/project/auto_entitylabel instead.

Well that sounds and looks lovely. Thanks for the pointer! I had no idea auto_entitylabel existed. I'll try it out (when I can) and if it does everything I need, I'd be happy to see auto_nodetitle wither and die without any help from me. ;)

Yeah, the maintainer there is active, receptive to patches, Inline Entity Form integration works really well, works on all entity types and not just nodes, etc.

For those that are using this module though - it would be great to get those patches applied by an active maintainer.

+1 for adding @dww as a maintainer.

edit: just noticed current maintainer says he's on vacation until sept 8!

I see the usefulness of deprecating in use of auto_entitylabel, however there are still 71,000 sites reported using this module. I think it'd be great to do one last "clean up" and get RTBC committed, test NR patches. Then make a release and say "Hey everyone, this is last release because we're pushing for all to use auto_entitylabel"

@mgalman - yep - that sounds like a sane approach to me too.

I made a working D8 port of auto_nodetitle (https://github.com/Sutharsan/auto_nodetitle/tree/8.x-1.x)
I tried to contact blesss about a month ago to become a co-maintainer fo Drupal8 branch but got no response. Found the auto_entitylabel module, contacted the maintainer and co-maintainer, but got no response too.
