Hi
There are a number of plugins that I am still listed as a contributor to, that I really have nothing to do with any more. How do I remove myself from these?
The lead maintainer to be precise. Lead maintainers are the one with the permission to edit the list of contributors and current maintainers.
have nothing to do with any more
Well, it's common. In my own plugins, I keep listed everybody who ever contributed to it. But you can be enlisted as a contributor, not necessarily as an active maintainer.
If you are listed at the top of the page below the plugin name in the "Maintained by" section, then you have "maintainer" permissions for the plugin. It means you can release new versions, edit the plugin page etc.
The lead maintainer can edit your permissions and uncheck the "maintainer" permissions. In which case you will disappear from the top "Maintained by" list, can no longer edit or release the plugin, but you can still remain displayed in the list of contributors down at the page (below the Useful links section).
but it errors out
What exactly does error out? Something we should look at? If so, please feel encouraged to raise a new MDLSITE issue. TIA
