THIS PROJECT IS UNMAINTANED AGAIN. (Over 400+ neglected pull request)

[LIGMATV]

(maybe)

This is was an cool project, and i was intend to add my README profile here. But I just realized that a lot unmerged pull request. And i saw that the last pull request is in 2 years ago (#907), and i never see the another after it. And also in the Product Hunt page (hover on the ghost in the name) said "Unfortunately this product is no longer available.". This is so sad. But the creator of this project (@abhisheknaiidu) still active to make contribution on another repository. Meanwhile the owner of the website (@zzetao) not active since last year.

Hi @LIGMATV

I agree with you this repository is unfortunately not maintained.

I like your initiative

For records @nikhil-shuklaa also shared the same idea.

I'm bringing your attention on the fact your inspirations might be close.

Maybe you could collaborate.

As part of the upcoming improvements, I'm looking to bring on additional maintainers to help keep the project running smoothly. Would any of you be interested in becoming a maintainer? Your contributions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm very happy anyway that you came to the same conclusion than me. I didn't share it until now, but maybe it was obvious to you by reading me: I think this kind of project can only maintained by multiple maintainers on a long term period.

That's why I wanted to bring you altogether, and create a discussion.

I know that's often a problem for people to jump into someone else project, because the project will stay owned only by the initial owner. I would like you to suggest to consider creating a GitHub organization, and move one of the project (the one with more stars usually) to the organization where all people will become maintainer, with a dedicated "owner"

Would any of you be interested in becoming a maintainer?

I would decline anyway, because I'm busy also. And I would like to focus on Go tool/library and also a personal project I try to launch ( https://github.com/ccoveille/jargon )

@ccoVeille no problem! Best wishes for your projects.

"I think this kind of project can only be maintained by multiple maintainers on a long-term period."

I agree—it’s good for long-term sustainability, faster and better quality decision-making, and helps to create a centralized source for others.

"I know that's often a problem for people to jump into someone else's project, because the project will stay owned only by the initial owner. I would like you to suggest to consider creating a GitHub organization"

If anyone wants to do it, I'm totally in for it. @nikhil-shuklaa, @LIGMATV, or anyone else, let me know your thoughts.
