DOC Set expectations for contributors proposing significant work

A maintainer who has the time and interest is an important ingredient in moving work forward. The goal of this PR is to make it easier to make people aware of this.

The idea is to provide a label ("[NAME_REDACTED]") that can be applied to an issue that will trigger a comment to be added that explains that, based on past experience, work that has no maintainer to champion it is unlikely to be merged. The goal is to raise awareness about this fact to help set expectations. The goal is not to use this to discourage people or suggest that an issue is not interesting/important/useful. The goal is to explain why sometimes even very good ideas don't happen for a long time.

Why is this a label + bot? We could each have a message similar to this in our "saved messages" and post it. The downside to that is that everyone would have slightly different messages and that by [NAME_REDACTED] you are marked as participating in it. This means you will receive notifications with a higher priority, it might also create the impression that you personally want to/don't want to participate in the discussion (instead of just making people aware of the fact).

A risk with this message is that contributors will start @-mentioning individual maintainers to attract their attention. If this starts happening we can address it then.

We discussed this topic at the [NAME_REDACTED] ([USER_REDACTED] [USER_REDACTED] [USER_REDACTED]). What do others think?

In essence a good idea, thanks, [USER_REDACTED]!

The message needs a bit more work, I think.

I think the focus on people hierarchy (you can be lucky/reputated enough to catch a maintainer's attention) instead of on structure that would also involve the contributor reads like we've given up trying to deliver a timely response. We could at least express our regret that deciding on a new feature takes more time than scikit-learn maintainers have at their hands. I bet many people are not aware of that.

For me it is still the first time that I have heard of the word "champion" in this context and I think we could also trigger this message with "Needs decision".

I like the phrasing and the fact to trigger it with the label could be nice I think.

Thanks, [USER_REDACTED]! I like the more concise comment that starts on "thanks". I have only got some suggestions, but would be happy to have it as is, too.

I'm okay with merging it. I think it would be nice to add that we may 'never' make a decision (or takes so long it is not longer relevant), to really set expectations.

To make it sound 'nice' we could say something like; "for some issues, consensus is never reached".

Maybe this is just me, but as a contributor I would indeed read this last part as "now go and find a maintainer" (despite the first sentence). Maybe it could be made a bit more explicit that this is a note rather than an instruction by [NAME_REDACTED]?
"Please be patient to see if a maintainer has the time to take this on. The time this will take is not necessarily a reflection on the quality/usefulness of your suggestion."

The first sentence I feel should be along "thank you and please be aware that deciding on new features or substantial changes is a lengthy process and it often happens that no maintainer takes this work on."

What do you think about adding "You do not need to do anything." to the first sentence? And maybe we remove the last paragraph?

Or should we add an explicit statement like: In conclusion, an important ingredient in a successful PR is a maintainer who has the time and interest to help move the work forward. If a maintainer is interested they will comment in this issue.

Here we could mention that new features and substatial changes should be discussed and decided on in an issue. When the discussion converges on an action to take and pre-existing "needs triage" or "needs decision" labels are removed is the right moment to start a PR.

This seems to be more a conclusion for us than for contributors.

The conclusion for contributors would be that their role in proposing a new feature is to be patient and to support the decision process by [NAME_REDACTED] ask for (which can be use case, example, POC), but only when and if they ask for it. Delivering a full PR is not going to speed the decision making process up.

Proposal: Adding: Please don't make a large unrequested PR without going through the discussion process with us.

I'd like to keep the first sentence as something that lets people know what the goal of the comment is (set expectations). This is because I think people could read it as a statement on the importance/interestingness of the proposed work. Hence the "the goal is to set expectations"

I'm not sure I want to get into the details of what they can and can't do. Because I feel like it is kind of fuzzy what to do in each situations. It could be that adding more details is useful, it could be that engaging in a discussion with non maintainers is useful, it could be that adding a POC for the feature is useful, but it could also be that none of this is useful and just waiting is the thing to do.

I like this new short version, but maybe still start off with a "Thank you for your effort."?

Done

If it is case sensitive:
```suggestion
    if: github.event.label.name == '[NAME_REDACTED]'
```

Proposing an alternative with a more obvious recommendation to act for the author [NAME_REDACTED] what "significant amount of time" means. It is just a suggestion, since I am happy with the current text too:

```suggestion
            Deciding on new features or substantial changes is a lengthy
            process and requires a significant amount of discussion and
            coordination. It frequently happens that no maintainer is available
            to take on this task right now. As a result, the full process often
            starts delayed or not at all and spans months to years.

            For now, please hold off on additional implementation work or
            creating a Pull Request until a decision has been reached.
```

It is triggered on `issues`:  Does that mean that if we add "[NAME_REDACTED]" to a PR, it won't post the comment then?

Yes. I don't know if we want this for PRs. Theoretically/Ideally there should be no PRs that need a decision, because you only create a PR once there is a decision. But yeah ...

Do you think it is worth adding background information on how a "new feature is like giving someone a puppy" - often people think a new feature only requires the work of adding a new feature (why not 'just' add this?) but cannot see the longer term maintenance required.

I think its fine as is. Posting this comment on an issue that  "[NAME_REDACTED]" has more effect than posting this on a PR that "[NAME_REDACTED]".

I think we would sometimes use "[NAME_REDACTED]" if we change our opinion in the middle of reviewing a PR and then need to discus or decide about it again (in which case the context would explain to the author [NAME_REDACTED] it is a lengthy process and please better wait until it's decided).

Only the case when contributors open a unsolicited larger PR without having discussed that change in an issue before is not covered here. We can in this case still copy this comment from somewhere else.

I think that is too much level of detail. The longer the text, the lower the chances of people reading it. The way I think about these things is along the lines of checklists (as used in aviation). They aim to remind pilots of the things that need to be done, but if you don't know how to do the thing they are useless.

For me this is a reminder to everyone, including maintainers, not a moment to teach people. If you want to go fly you probably know what "Cockpit prep" means, and if not you should ask. But I assume that question means you won't fly today and instead go away to a classroom to learn about it.

Looks like the doc build is picky and complaining about too short underlines or something like this, let's try to fix them all at once.

Thanks for the PR, this seems fine to me!

Having someone outside Probabl give a quick look would be nice, e.g [USER_REDACTED] [USER_REDACTED] or [USER_REDACTED]?

The main change is the reorg of the funding section to display different tiers (gold, silver, etc ...) and update the information:
- [this PR Funding section](https://output.circle-artifacts.com/output/job/746a7116-decc-454d-bc4b-cbc2cae68021/artifacts/0/doc/about.html#funding)
- [dev website Funding section](https://scikit-learn.org/dev/about.html)

A nit and a question but LGTM! Thanks

small nit. I think this list is exhaustive (includes everyone) so we don't need 'such as'.

What does 'handle links' mean?

That second part isn’t really needed here. It’s just a defensive fallback I added in case the page didn’t wrap its content in a #about element, or if the same script were reused elsewhere. Since on about.html everything is already inside the #about section, we can safely remove that second block. I guess.

```suggestion
```

Is this really needed? Removing it would be simpler (less code to worry about). This would also be less surpring, opening the link in the same tab is the standard behaviour IMO.

Fine, let me remove it to move forward.

Thanks a few minor questions and comments but this is already very useful.

One question: should we start by [NAME_REDACTED] major release or every minor release? I am not 100% sure how the maintainer templating works.

LGTM besides the following question:

I guess you also need to sync `main` on your fork if the idea is to keep the history "just in case"?

Just curious why not use https here too? Full disclosure: I have always used https and never bothered with `git clone git@` (mostly for simplicity, for a very long time I was afraid of the complexity of setting up SSH keys 😅)

Just curious do you know whether the indicative ~5GB acceptable size is for the `.git` or for the total size of the `git clone`. For one commit for scikit-learn `.git` is at `1.6G`, `git clone` is at 5.2G.

MNE-Python which is using a similar strategy (squash commits every release) for one commit `2.3G` `git clone` `7.6G`.

Maybe indicate that it may take a while (`git clone --depth 1` took a few minutes maybe for me so when you fetch the full history it may be a bit longer)

changed this to "new fresh fork"

This is what I did, I don't want to bother with authentication of https and 2FA every time I clone something, so I setup my keys once, and never do GH authentication again locally.

It's total size of the repo and its history, so includes `.git` folder. That's the recommendation, but the hard limit is 100GB.

Don't you need to commit anything? Or does `git branch -m main` creates a commit automatically?

I think either would do. The point is not to forget about it.

Yeah, in practice when the repo is so large, it makes quite a bit of a difference in the time it takes to finish this task

Yep, forgot to put it here

LGTM thanks!

Thanks for the PR! A few minor comments but otherwise LGTM.

LGTM, thanks! I enabled auto-merge.

I would use `self.sparse_output` everywhere. I guess `use_sparse` was defined only to cover more easily scipy < 1.10 and scipy >= 1.10

I would use `extrapolate=self.bsplines_[0].extrapolate` in the call where `kwargs_extrapolate` is used.

Similar thing as previous comment, `kwargs_extrapolate` was to cover more easily scipy < 1.10 and scipy >= 1.10

I would remove >= 1.10 here and only say SciPy requires network access to get data

Maybe move this import at the top of the file?

Done

```suggestion
    # SciPy requires network access to get data
```

I think `_neg_log_likelihood` can also be cleaned, since now it uses `stats.yeojohnson`

Good point, [USER_REDACTED] are you interested in doing this?

Yes, thanks for the suggestion.

⬆ Add support for Python 3.14

Adding support for Python 3.14 by [NAME_REDACTED], adding the classifier, and fixing a compat issue with Pydantic.

Since https://github.com/[USER_REDACTED]ntic/pydantic/pull/11991 (Pydantic 2.12.0 for Python 3.14), `annotations` are retrieved [differently](https://github.com/[USER_REDACTED]ntic/pydantic/pull/11991/files#diff-ea75a1ef1da6bb38913477e979605f6a05e2ffe8c28fe47d9b798c89ba436c7c). We need to do the same, or will end up with an empty `dict` in `class_dict["annotations"]`, which will ultimately result in a `pydantic.errors.PydanticUserError` stating that a certain field requires a type annotation.

The implementation here should be bwd-compat for previous versions of Pydantic v2 (tested locally).

Note that Pydantic v1 won't be supported on Python 3.14: https://github.com/[USER_REDACTED]ntic/pydantic/issues/11613#issuecomment-3242513660

Nice! And now we get to use `annotationlib`! 😎 🚀

I reviewed it thoroughly, read all the `annotationlib` docs and best practices document, and the implementation in Pydatnic. It all looks good to me. 🎉

Note that https://github.com/fastapi/sqlmodel/discussions/1594 proposes an alternative implementation, using `class_dict.get("__annotate_func__")`


🐛 Fix `alias` support for Pydantic v2

## [NAME_REDACTED] PR fixes the Field(alias="...") functionality that was broken in Pydantic v2 while maintaining full backward compatibility with Pydantic v1.

## [NAME_REDACTED] v2, the `alias` parameter in SQLModel's `Field` function was not working correctly for validation and serialization. The issue was that Pydantic v2 requires explicit `validation_alias` and `serialization_alias` parameters, but SQLModel wasn't automatically propagating the `alias` value to these parameters.

## Solution

### Changes Made:

1. **[NAME_REDACTED] function**:
   - Added `validation_alias` and `serialization_alias` parameters
   - Implemented version-specific parameter handling

2. **Automatic alias propagation**:
   - ~~Modified `post_init_field_info` in `_compat.py` to automatically set `validation_alias` and `serialization_alias` from `alias` when not explicitly provided (Pydantic v2 only)~~ UPD YuriiMotov: updated it to just using `alias` value for `validation_alias` and `serialization_alias` if they are not specified directly

3. **Backward compatibility**:
   - Filter out v2-only parameters from FieldInfo in Pydantic v1
   - Raise clear RuntimeError when v2 features are used with v1
   - Conditional test execution based on Pydantic version

4. **Comprehensive testing**:
   - Added extensive test coverage for both Pydantic v1 and v2
   - Tests automatically skip v2-specific features when running with v1
   - Covers all alias scenarios including edge cases

[NAME_REDACTED]. This is purely a bug fix with backward compatibility maintained.

The idea looks good to me!

A couple of more things:
* ~~I think it would be nice to use `alias` as a default value for DB column. It can then be overridden by `sa_column=Column("column_name")`~~ - decided to handle it in separate PR later
* ~~We should probably test how it works with alias generators specified in model's config (is it supported? - UPD: YES)~~ (done)

PS: [USER_REDACTED], sorry, I only noticed you self-assigned this PR when I was about to press "Submit review".. Hope you don't mind I submitted this review)

Good! We are almost there)

I added a few comments.

Tested it a bit more and found a use case that is broken with this PR applied.
This is the workaround people use for now. Although it's not documented and it's a misuse of `schema_extra`, I think it would be nice to support passing `validation_alias` and `serialization_alias` via `schema_extra`, and show a warning message in such cases.
```py
from sqlmodel import SQLModel, Field

class MyModel(SQLModel):
    f: str = Field(schema_extra={"validation_alias": "f_alias"})

m = MyModel.model_validate({"f_alias": "asd"})
assert m.f == "asd"
```

Also, we may want to add more tests (just ideas):
* `alias` + `validation_alias` = `validation_alias` takes precedence
* `alias` + `serialization_alias` = `serialization_alias` takes precedence
* `alias_generator` in model config
* `alias_generator` in model config + `alias` for field = `alias` takes precedence
* passing `validation_alias` and `serialization_alias` via `schema_extra`

LGTM!

Implementation is not breaking. It also handles the workaround with
```
Field(schema_extra={"validation_alias": "field_alias"})
```
that people currently use.

The only use case it can break is if users use
```
Field(schema_extra={"validation_alias": "field_alias"})
```
and want to use this model with both, Pydantic V1 and V2.
It will now raise
```
RuntimeError("validation_alias is not supported in Pydantic v1")
```
for Pydantic V1.
But it's easily fixable - just remove `validation_alias` (now `alias` works with both versions, so that workaround is not needed).

#### [NAME_REDACTED]:
Some tests are parameterized to be run with both, SQLModel and Pydantic models, to show that they behave the same way. If you don't like it, it's easy to remove it.

[USER_REDACTED], thank you!

Awesome, thank you [USER_REDACTED]! 🚀

And thanks [USER_REDACTED]! 🍰

This will be available in SQLModel 0.0.29, released in the next hours. 🎉

This function is declared inside the `if IS_PYDANTIC_V2:` block. So, this condition looks not necessary here.
Am I missing something?

Looks like we can move this outside of `if..else..` block to avoid duplication

We should think whether we want to keep parameterizing tests with Pydantic models.
Initially I parametrized tests with both, Pydantic and SQLModel models to show the difference in behavior between SQLModel and Pydantic models.

If it's useful to keep this parametrization in repo? 🤔
Tests would be a bit simpler without it, but on the other hand this way we ensure it works the same as with Pydantic model

We will need to remove unnecessary comments in final version

```suggestion
[USER_REDACTED]_pydanticv2
```

We should use `[USER_REDACTED]_pydanticv2` decorator as [it's usually done](https://github.com/fastapi/sqlmodel/blob/69b20188bdfec20bcda11c2b73be3e3d571047a8/tests/test_annotated_uuid.py#L9) in this code base
```
from tests.conftest import needs_pydanticv2
```

We also need to test the logic with `RuntimeError` for Pydantic V1

```py
        if validation_alias:
            raise RuntimeError("validation_alias is not supported in Pydantic v1")
        if serialization_alias:
            raise RuntimeError("serialization_alias is not supported in Pydantic v1")
```

Pydantic's `validation_alias` type annotation is wider (`validation_alias: str | AliasPath | AliasChoices | None`), but I think it's fine if we only support `str` for now and extend it later

Added for backward compatibility with Pydantic v1.
Without this, Pydantic tests v1 would fail.

Good catch! I've fixed this by [NAME_REDACTED] if/else block to avoid duplication.

Added Tests to test the logic with RuntimeError

Removed unnecessary comments

Personally, I think it’s useful to keep the parametrization for now, since it acts as a kind of integration test between the two libraries.

I don't have a strong preference on this.

Addressed the comment

I just checked it with Python 3.11 and Pydantic 1.10.22 - tests passed.
Could you please check it one more time?
```py
    def post_init_field_info(field_info: FieldInfo) -> None:
        if field_info.alias and not field_info.validation_alias:
            field_info.validation_alias = field_info.alias
        if field_info.alias and not field_info.serialization_alias:
            field_info.serialization_alias = field_info.alias
```

```suggestion
[USER_REDACTED]_pydanticv1
def test_serialization_alias_runtimeerror_pydantic_v1():
```

```suggestion
[USER_REDACTED]_pydanticv1
def test_validation_alias_runtimeerror_pydantic_v1():

Thanks fixed it.

You are right. I checked and tests passed. Thanks.
