In short, there is no under-staffing on the merge (in fact the workload when you know the app well is quite low) but we frequently have an under-staffing on the '''Fixers''', '''Debuggers''' and '''Killers of Technical Debt''' that I would call with the initials, the "'''FDK'''s" for the following (FDKs are those who work, mainly during a beta phase, to make the application stable and/or coherent, correct regressions, but also during the development phases to reduce technical debt for example). Linus Torvald, from the Linux project, also call them '''The Maintainers''' (vs The developers) and said: "''We do not have enough maintainers''". Dolibarr also miss such contributors on old released versions (when we have too much on develop version). | In short, there is no under-staffing on the merge (in fact the workload when you know the app well is quite low) but we frequently have an under-staffing on the '''Fixers''', '''Debuggers''' and '''Killers of Technical Debt''' that I would call with the initials, the "'''FDK'''s" for the following (FDKs are those who work, mainly during a beta phase, to make the application stable and/or coherent, who correct regressions, but also during the development phases who work to reduce technical debt for example).

The '''Merger(s)''' can be replaced: Its tasks requires strong technical knowledge, history and anticipatory vision of course, but need a little mobilization compared to size of the project (i.e: load in 2024 is 2 half days per week only). | The '''Merger(s)''' can be replaced: Its tasks requires strong technical knowledge, history and anticipatory vision of course, but need a little mobilization compared to size of the project (i.e: load in 2024 is 2 half days per week only). | ||
