Official images at Docker - ask for an advice

We are developers of EspoCRM, one of the most popular open-source CRM system.

We’ve submitted a pull request on GitHub (Add EspoCRM official image by tmachyshyn · Pull Request #7603 · docker-library/official-images · GitHub) to have our Docker image recognized as official. Initially, we received several recommendations, implemented the suggested changes, but since then, our request has remained pending without further feedback.

Despite our follow-up messages requesting a review, we’ve received no response.

Could anyone advise on how to proceed with this? If anyone has contact details for a decision-maker or reviewer in this process, sharing them would be greatly appreciated. We really want to understand the reason for such ignorance.

I have lost on the pull request page, so please, help me out. How long have you been waiting for a response? I see some events, commits, but the last comment I see is from 2021.

We have been waiting for more than 3 years. The last comment was in November 2020.

I would be deeply grateful for any assistance you could provide.

While I was writing my first reply @meyay already tried to contact someone who could have more information about what you could do. It could take time, during which we might forget about this topic, so feel free to remind us with a new comment after a couple of days

Hi @rimelek and @meyay, Are there any updates about the Docker image (Add EspoCRM official image by tmachyshyn · Pull Request #7603 · docker-library/official-images · GitHub)?

Thank you for coming back. When I recommended reminding us, I didn’t think I would really forget about the topic, but I did. We will try again. I will also save this topic in my bookmark with a reminder.

update:

On second thought, it seems a member responded on GitHub and sent a pull request which you merged. If repository members are still commenting, it is not forgotten and we probably can’t speed it up. Maybe we can still learn about the process and decision making, what the expected time intervals at this point.

There is some progress since that time. I just want to check if everything is fine now. Thank you.

Hi @rimelek and @meyay. We’ve received approval from Laurent Goderre. It looks like two code reviews from Docker members are required. Hope this can be done soon.

Hi @rimelek, @meyay,

I wonder if it is possible to proceed with checking our image or include it as official?

Unfortunately we can’t influence how the developers accept requests to make an image official. When I thought the request was forgotten I tried to contact someone from Docker, but didn’t get an answer and haven’t tried since then.

It seems there are many requests waiting. Some of them as long as yours.

I also checked the closed requests. Some of those were just closed, not accepted. Only 10 of the closed requests were actually merged on the last page which shows 25, so I guess it is pretty hard to make an image official and maybe some of the images get more focus based on expected popularity, I don’t know.
