Looking for maintainers

Describe your use-case which is not covered by existing documentation.

From Jenkins dev list (Probably more visibility here)

Hi!

6 month ago I've adopted the Ansible Plugin (https://github.com/jenkinsci/ansible-plugin) that was abandoned many years ago. I was able to refresh it, fix some issue (including security ones) but I overestimated the work to be done on this widely used plugin (~20k) installations.

It has pretty much no tests, no support for durable infrastructure, use deprecated Jenkins core API etc...

Sadly I don't have time to take care of all of this and I'm looking for other maintainers and at least people that want to invest time to stabilize it and avoid regression in the future.

Thanks!

Reference any relevant documentation, other materials or issues/pull requests that can be used for inspiration.

Would you be interested in applying for a Google Summer of Code to help you with this?

Perhaps for 2025, 2024 is already on-going. There was a project last year about refreshing the GitLab plugin and is was successful : https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2023/08/24/gitlab-plugin-modernization-report/

The only way I see the refresh is by deprecating existing method and setup new steps.
