What is the future of support? Really Good but a few bugs that need fixed? #178

Containerize is really really great and I love it. I see that @kintesh has been very busy with private repos recently and hasn't been supporting containerize. I'm wondering if anyone is competent to and willing to help? If there is any such person would it be good to set containerize up as a separate project with multiple people so that if Kintesh ever gets free time he can easily be welcomed back?

Alternatively if Kintesh doesn't have any time, should there be a fork? Currently there's bifulushi but that uses eval in a way which doesn't allow it to go into the firefox store so it isn't a direct substitute.

For me the upper/lower case bug is a big issue and one I'd try to fix if I thought there was a person who would look after and check the code.

Hey @mikedlr. I am planning to jump back on this and look at the open PR but it won't be till after Christmas.

@kintesh Thank you for your work, can you please make any changes, so that users know that this project is active. Most users, myself included, would thought that this project is abandoned as there was no release nor a commit since Feb 11, 2021. Thank you again, and keep it up :muscle:

@kintesh I see that your life isn't really giving you the time that you need for this. Could I suggest two things

a) make this a proper project - e.g. register containerize/containerize so that management can be given to others b) let someone (e.g. people that you saw making good contributions) have permission to merge to one of the main branches so that the code can go forward when you are busy

that would make it much more likely to have some kind of good and stable future for the code and allow people to have more confidence in the future. I think it would also reduce any pressure you feel about this which might actually, conversely, make working on it easier for you.

@kintesh Just want to jump in to mirror what @mikedlr said above. Please take a few minutes to set things up to let this repo be maintained as the go-to addon for firefox containers.
