For EGI we are currently tracking an assessment of this on the following 
wiki page: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Globus_EOL_assessment

And please at the end of the email the list of dependencies used by 
products in UMD (Thanks to Joao Pina for collecting this).

I was personally under the assumption that the development would be done 
using the GitHub org as a central repository used to track issues and 
have all interested parties making Pull Request as needed, more or less 
like some community-supported projects are managed collectively.

All interested parties would be able to see what is done in the repo and 
discuss issues and PR. And all the members of the organization would be 
more or less collectively be owner/responsible of the software.
With the effect that people actively using or dependent on a component 
are more likely to be the most interested in following/managing it and 
investing some time in maintaining it.

It could be more clear/confortable to have one clear responsible per 
product, but it might be difficult to get all parties to agree, and 
partners probably don't want to be stuck/blocked if the responsible is 
not able to manage something in due/expected time (as long as there is a 
consensus/accepted review).

It will probably be quite important to define a clear process for 
accepting changes and merging PR, ie. having a clear review model 
(finding some people able (time and knowledge) to review and validate 
changes as they will in fact impact all the users) and all the usual 
coding rules, testing requirement, SQA, release process... Starting from 
what was done previously for the toolkit.

In fact the owners you mentioned could be the reviewers, github also 
offers the possibility to host a wiki or even a static/generated site to 
document things so once there will be an organisation and project name 
it will be possible to start formalizing this in the wiki.
If there is only one big repository for the toolkit all the 
reviewers/admins will probably have the same rights and be able to 
manage all the repository without being limited to the specific 
component/part they have been agreed responsible for (especially as a 
feature/patch could affect multiple components/parts of the source 
tree).

Best,
Baptiste
