Need a maintainer for typo correction (original) (raw)

I’ve been working my way through the Clang issue list doing triage and I’ve noticed we have a number of bugs related to typo correction. Things like:

and plenty more. However, we do not have anyone actively in charge of maintaining this area and the original author seems to have moved on from the community (at least, I don’t see them posting PRs or reviewing changes). What’s more, our stable of active maintainers don’t have the expertise/bandwidth to cover this area of the compiler.

Obviously, having unmaintained code in the compiler is a bad thing. Is anyone interested in volunteering to become the maintainer for typo correction? You’re not volunteering to fix all of the issues, of course. It’s that we need someone we can reach out to for help with reviewing fixes, answering questions while we’re triaging, etc. Of course, if you want to volunteer to fix some of the issues, that’s greatly appreciated as well. But this is about a lack of expertise within the community more than anything.

CC @rnk as the original author was a Googler, so presumably this functionality is of interest to Google
