Stabalization - roadmap to v1.0

[tcharding]

Tracking issue for what is needed for us to be able to stabalize the bech32 crate.

See also all issues marked with the 1.0 label: https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bech32/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A1.0

Original discussion is in #60 but that issue is quite old and a bit stale. I've opened this one so that, if @apoelstra and @Kixunil are happy, we can close #60 to save others trawling through the stale stuff.

There is a problem though with this, not everyone can edit the issue like the ones on rust-bitcoin. I'm not a maintainer here and neither is @Kixunil - not sure how to project manage this crate.

I can just close this if its not an improvement over #60.

@clarkmoody or @apoelstra please add a 1.0 label same as rust-bitcoin.

name: 1.0

[apoelstra]

Done.

[tcharding]

Oh I can't add labels to issues, even ones I wrote myself.

[apoelstra]

:/. Do you remember offhand if there's a non-maintainer github role that would let you do that?

[tcharding]

Looks like there is, "Triage". https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-user-access-to-your-organizations-repositories/managing-repository-roles/repository-roles-for-an-organization

[apoelstra]

@clarkmoody can we make @tcharding a "Triage" member here?

I will do the same on rust-secp if you need, @tcharding .

Done! 😄

Thanks!

I am good with stabilization as soon as is reasonable.

[tcharding]

Great! Now that error correction is done I believe this is the closest crate we have (in the rust-bitcoin stack) to stabalization. We have removed it from the public API of rust-bitcoin though, so its not totally required to stabalize it. I personally still think it would be good to do, and good for us as a team to get something released as 1.0

Unfortunately it's "done" except for the user-facing API, which turn out to be the hardest part :) (though I don't think so).
