Maintaining 24 Drupal modules, incl. Admin Toolbar

The context

I have been contributing to Drupal since 2012 as matio89. Over the years I have become the maintainer of 24 projects on drupal.org — including Admin Toolbar, one of the most installed modules in the entire Drupal ecosystem, running on a significant share of production Drupal sites worldwide.

The problem

Maintaining a widely installed module is a job in itself:

• a permanent issue queue to triage: real bugs, feature requests, false positives;
• compatibility to guarantee for every major Drupal release (9, 10, 11…) without breaking existing sites;
• security fixes to coordinate with the drupal.org security team, under embargo;
• external contributions to review — kindly, but rigorously.

All of it in public: every decision, every commit, every discussion is visible and archived.

What I do

Issue triage and prioritisation, patch and merge-request reviews, stable and compatibility releases (Drupal 10, Drupal 11), coordination with co-maintainers and the security team, documentation.

The result

Modules that keep pace with Drupal’s release cycle, relied on by tens of thousands of teams without a second thought. And for my clients, a guarantee that is hard to fake: my code is public, reviewed and battle-tested at scale. Before you trust me with your back office, you can read mine.
