Unmaintained? #392

Hi @stkb, first of all, thanks for all your effort working on this project!

I wanted to reach out about this project being potentially unmaintained - it seems like the last commit it received was in March 2022 and there are multiple unreleased Pre-Release versions with great features:

If you don't think that you'll be available to maintain this longer term, would it be time to ask for a community maintainer to help out?

@stkb has had no activity whatsoever on github since February 2023.

This project is stale with a lot of outstanding issues that the community has shown interest in addressing. Ideally, the current maintainer would allow someone to take over this repository, but that does not appear to be realistic.

To make any improvements, the only realistic option appears to be forking the project. It's in our best interest to unify the community around a single fork, so we can benefit from network effects, and so all improvements can be upstreamed into a single codebase.

I can take the lead on this. I'm happy to fork the repository and publish it to the marketplace. But I won't be heavily invested in the code. I would rely mostly on the community to implement, review, and test improvements.

It would be better for the project to be led by someone who is interested in making more significant contributions. Is anyone actually interested in working on this code, and willing to commit to long term maintenance?
