[QGIS-Developer] Adding a plugin collaborator

[Germán Carrillo]

Hi All,


last year in Firenze I contacted Richard by e-mail, and asked Alessandro
personally what was the rationale of the "Owners" field.

I had this use case in mind: add a person as contributor to allow him/her
to upload plugin versions. The "Author" field was already filled with the
organization we worked for. For some reason, I could not add him/her as a
maintainer (perhaps the maintainer is a single person or the field doesn't
appear in the edit form), and the field "Owner" sounded as if I worked for
him/her, which was not the case.

After some discussion with Alessandro, he found a more precise term for
describing what the 'Owner' field is for: and the term is "Collaborator",
which did fit perfectly with my use case.

See the proposed change here: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django/pull/254


Regards,

Germań
