Is anyone maintain this repo? #2008

Open darthkurak opened 1 year ago

darthkurak commented 1 year ago

There is number of 44 opened pull requests. Most of them untouched by maintainers. Last release was in December of 2019. Is anyone here who own this repo and maintain it? Or we can consider this project as dead?

Unfortunately, I would have to say it's more on the dead side of things at this point. I'm the last person who's paying any attention to the repo, and it's been a while since I've had any time to devote to it.

So 2y ago, there was this: #1834. Did this lead to anything ? There seemed to be a few people interested. What would you say are the biggest challenges in maintaining this repo ? Is it purely lack of time, or are there some technical challenges that would require spending a lot of time on, which you are unable to ?

Could something like what's proposed in #1998 help this project in the long run ?

@bording I would also be interested in getting involved however I can. And it looks like the folks over at OctopuseDeploy are interested in sponsoring the project (RE: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/1834#issuecomment-883941676 by @zentron ).

Not to mention UbiSoft (RE: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/1834#issuecomment-863212049) - which is quite a substantial organization

I may be mistaken but I believe Microsoft also uses this library in their toolchain in Azure DevOps (based on errors I've personally seen while working with it) and I know the Mono project did at least at one point.

It appears to be a very widely used project. A little prodding in the right places could really help get some re-invigorated support.

So seeing that there is interest in helping and responses in the "In need of contributors"-ticket, who would have permissions to add someone to the project ? @bording @ethomson

Any progress on this? In Allegro we are using this lib for small project. Right now we are have our own fork, but today we want to expose this small project to the public - and in future, would be great to use origin repo instead a fork.
