DCO Expected — Waiting for status to be reported

[vasukulkarni]

Is there an issue with DCO bot? It seems to be stuck forever in our PR checks?

Example PR: red-hat-storage/ocs-ci#4578

We were experiencing similar issues in the fluxcd organisation, e.g. fluxcd/website#580 - we just had to disable the check.

Same issue for the keptn organization (e.g. keptn/keptn#5612)

[pracucci]

Same issue for the cortexproject/cortex (e.g. cortexproject/cortex#4525). Does anyone know how to fix it (we would like to keep it enabled)?

Pinging @hiimbex @gr2m @lptr as top contributors in this repo... do you know who can help us?

We are also encountering this problem at kumahq/kuma

We are encountering the same problems with https://github.com/com-pas/compas-cim-mapping/

I'm afraid nobody is maintaining DCO for a while now. I've been asking for someone else to step up and take on ownership/maintainership. It looks like GitHub is shutting off servers for probot apps now.

I'd recommend you deploy your own instances until a new maintainer is found.

[gr2m]

I think servers got turned back on, but only for another grace period of 4 weeks.

If nobody steps up and offers to take on ownership this app and repository will be shut down for good then.

@gr2m Do we need to rerun the existing pipelines or this will pick all the pending jobs?

[brianwarner]

@gr2m are you able to clarify, are servers being shut off for probot apps in general, or just for apps that don't currently have maintainers?

@gr2m, What is the process to take over the ownership? My company, i am working at, can do this, if its okay? We use the DCO too in our OSS projects.

In general.

The only app in the @probot org that has a maintainer is the settings app. We will move https://github.com/probot/settings/ out of the @probot org and deploy it to servers not owned by GitHub.

I don't think there is a process, so we can make it up as we go. I'll try to have someone from GitHub reach out, thank you for offering!
