Restructure docs/development/maintenance.md: components are listed
alphabetically by their folder name in components/ILIAS/, each with
a uniform authority block, and the file replaces the per-component
maintenance.json files as the single source of truth for
maintainership data.
Structural changes:
- one block per component folder with GitHub link and Feature-Wiki
assignment ("Belongs to"); wiki-grouped folders (Login/Auth,
ECS Interface, Study Programme, ...) share their authority data
- authority entries use the format
[<github-username>](<link-to-docu-profile>), documented in
"How Authority Assignments are Stored"
- "Tester" and "Unit-specific Guidelines, Rules, and Regulations"
fields dropped (TB decisions, July 2026)
- all 164 maintenance.json files removed (163 component folders
plus templates/maintenance.json)
- ilComponentBuildPluginInfoObjectiveTest::testScanDir no longer
expects maintenance.json; dead maintenance.json links in
components/ILIAS/Refinery/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md now point to the
maintenance.md
Authority updates agreed with the maintainers (July/August 2026):
- AuthSOAP: Pascal Seeland removed -> mjansen, thojou
- OpenIdConnect: smeyer -> mjansen, thojou
- Cache, FileDelivery, FileServices -> fschmid
- soap -> minervis (githamo, sKarki999; De-Assign: TimoScheuer)
- VirusScanner -> unmaintained (rschenk stepped down)
- Html assigned to Security instead of Forum (component is the
HTML-Purifier service)
- Init mapped to "Initialisation Service" (mjansen, tfuhrer,
fschmid) instead of the Login/Auth group
- ILIASObject: username fixed fawinike -> skergomard (usr 44474)
- Feature-Wiki links added for BackgroundTasks, CmiXapi (xAPI),
ContentPage, FileUpload (File), GlobalScreen, Group,
IndividualAssessment, Taxonomy
Upstream changes included (through 8af32b1, 2026-08-04):
- mhomann-tf for Bibliographic, OrgUnit, StudyProgramme (ILIAS-eLearning#11640)
- thojou as ECS code authority for the Remote* folders (ILIAS-eLearning#11719);
handle rename tjoussen -> thojou (afde68d)
- Survey: assignee for issues -> abrahammordev (ILIAS-eLearning#11837)
- dkippKPG as code authority for KioskMode, Language,
LearningSequence, Maps (c364175, 8af32b1)
Cleanup (TB decisions):
- Cloud and SystemFolder components removed; note: Cloud contained
the RemoveCloudDBUpdate setup migration
- Context and setup_ blocks dropped (folders no longer exist in
trunk)
- Http_, UI_ and BackgroundTasks_ intentionally stay listed as
unmaintained
