# Maintainer scripts
This folder contains various executable scripts for nixpkgs maintainers,
and supporting data or nixlang files as needed.
These scripts generally aren't a stable interface and may changed or be removed.
What follows is a (very incomplete) overview of available scripts.
## Metadata
### `get-maintainer.sh`
`get-maintainer.sh [selector] value` returns a JSON object describing
a given nixpkgs maintainer, equivalent to `lib.maintainers.${x} // { handle = x; }`.
This allows looking up a maintainer's attrset (including GitHub and Matrix
handles, email address etc.) based on any of their handles, more correctly and
robustly than text search through `maintainers-list.nix`.
```
❯ ./get-maintainer.sh nicoo
{
"email": "nicoo@debian.org",
"github": "nbraud",
"githubId": 1155801,
"keys": [
{
"fingerprint": "E44E 9EA5 4B8E 256A FB73 49D3 EC9D 3708 72BC 7A8C"
}
],
"name": "nicoo",
"handle": "nicoo"
}
❯ ./get-maintainer.sh name 'Silvan Mosberger'
{
"email": "contact@infinisil.com",
"github": "infinisil",
"githubId": 20525370,
"keys": [
{
"fingerprint": "6C2B 55D4 4E04 8266 6B7D DA1A 422E 9EDA E015 7170"
}
],
"matrix": "@infinisil:matrix.org",
"name": "Silvan Mosberger",
"handle": "infinisil"
}
```
The maintainer is designated by a `selector` which must be one of:
- `handle` (default): the maintainer's attribute name in `lib.maintainers`;
- `email`, `name`, `github`, `githubId`, `matrix`, `name`:
attributes of the maintainer's object, matched exactly;
see [`maintainer-list.nix`] for the fields' definition.
[`maintainer-list.nix`]: ../maintainer-list.nix
