Research direction

Start with doc/contributing/offboarding.md and the linked Coverity project and CI scan job to understand the current removal process. Review the two existing comments and determine whether the issue has a settled decision about which group should manage Coverity membership; done means an agreed ownership policy and corresponding process updates.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently the offboarding process for nodejs/node collaborators has this:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/e92446536ed4e268c9eef6ae6f911e384c98eecf/doc/contributing/offboarding.md?plain=1#L20-L23

  • Open an issue in the nodejs/build repository titled Remove Collaborator from Coverity asking that the collaborator be removed from the Node.js coverity project if they had access.

This is for Node.js project we have with the static analysis Coverity tool at: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/node-js

There are currently five people with Maintainer/Owner role -- three from the Build WG, one from the TSC and one former Build WG/TSC.

Historically Build have had a maintainer role to be able to download the build tool from Coverity that is run on the CI to upload scans to Coverity.

I think the Coverity project should have other maintainers -- either the @nodejs/tsc or a subset such as the @nodejs/security-wg (since the items flagged by the tool are potentially exploitable) and am opening this issue to discuss if we want to expand/formalize who can manage membership of this account.
