Need a plan to keep Astropy Coordinated Packages better maintained #162

Open pllim opened 3 years ago

Astropy Coordinated Packages: https://www.astropy.org/affiliated/#coordinated-package-list

How do we provide resources to keep these packages better maintained and also implement new features? How do we provide development roadmaps? Do we redistribute core maintainers for these? Do we recruit from institutions that use these packages?

Case study (but not the only one): ccdproc -- We lost Steve Crawford and Michael Seifert, so only @mwcraig is left to maintain it but he does not have enough time. How do we solve this problem?

Technically, both are still maintainers but Michael has stepped back and Steve is stretched pretty thin.
