3 years ago {said in the style of a political candidate} The .NET Networking team approves this request and thinks that having MQTTnet as part of the foundation would be a terrific way to provide a trusted MQTT solution for IoT and other projects that need it.
I have spoken with Christian offline about our desire for a 3rd party project in this space, and asked if he would be prepared to submit the project to the foundation. This is a hobby project for him, so I am looking at how we can provide support/assistance to bring the project into the foundation and up its component governance to meet the requirements for internal Microsoft teams that need MQTT support in .NET.
Hopefully we can use this project as a test case for developing the patterns for what that looks like so it can be applied to other projects in the future.
