Database Maintainer Progress

Greetings! You have been added to this issue because you have signed up to be a trainee_maintainer database. The original effort and reason for our increased need for Database Maintainers can be viewed here gitlab-org/gitlab#29717 (closed). We still have just @abrandl as the only Database Maintainer but based on the completed tasks in your individual issues a few of you are close. I'd like to see 1 or 2 more maintainers by the end of October!

I've spoken with a couple of you regarding your training and timeline towards becoming a Database Maintainer but I wanted to start a larger discussion here. I've created a few questions for each of you and please add your feedback in comments below or feel free to reach out to me directly.

  • What is your timeline for becoming a Maintainer (estimate)?
  • Do you have any concerns about becoming a Maintainer?
  • Are we missing anything on the traintainer template? (Steps, knowledge gaps, etc)
  • Is there anything we can be doing better?
  • Do the number of tasks complete accurately reflect your progress? (for example you have 7/17 tasks done so you're roughly 41% there.
  • Did you know about and fill out the PostgreSQL Survey questionnaire (Survey Link: https://gitlab.cultureamp.com/adhoc/gitlab?code=5d94e6a8172ad00023ecfacd Authorization code: postgresql)

Thanks in advance!
