Open jackson15j opened 11 months ago
I don’t know if anyone has really distinguished themselves with a fork or multiple nontrivial open PRs to the point where wandersoncferreira could feel confident adding them as a collaborator. This is a pretty large Emacs Lisp package, so it wouldn’t be good to have someone with limited experience just become a committer on the MELPA package.
Typically, the first step is for someone to fork it, merge the open PRs, and make new additions demonstrating that they understand the code base, ideally for enough time to indicate they won’t just disappear in a month or two. This issue would be a good place for anyone who is maintaining a fork to announce it so that users can modify their package recipes accordingly! Unfortunately, based on the fork network, that someone doesn’t exist yet, unless they’re not using GitHub.
If you just need a fork that has the CloSQL fix merged, try the Doom Emacs maintainer’s fork.
I'd like to add that moving the repo to an organization, if it can ease administration. Maybe the Magit devs are also interested? (just a wild guess, no idea). @wandersoncferreira Adoptoposs might come handy here. /cc @smile13241324 to bring attention on the Doom Emacs fork mentioned above, since this package has been excluded in the meantime from Spacemacs on syl20bnr/spacemacs#16020.
