@ayalash please have a look 👀

FYI @vmalloc

@pierreluctg This is a slightly delicate matter. @ayalash will take a look soon and give her opinion on this

[pierreluctg]

@ayalash please have a look. Thank you

[pierreluctg]

@vmalloc, @ayalash how can we unblock this PR?

[pierreluctg]

Hi @vmalloc and @ayalash, can you please let me know if this project is still active and if there are plans to keep maintaining it?

[vmalloc]

@pierreluctg to be honest both @ayalash and myself are a bit busy with other projects in recent times, so the amount of effort we have available to put into the project has declined significantly over the past few years. We did get some contributions that we can review relatively quickly, but changes to the core (and also delicate library integrations like dessert) take more time to review and/or fix -- meaning it will take us more time to get to it...

So to answer your question - the project is still active, but it is lacking maintainers...

[pierreluctg]

@vmalloc are you looking to add more maintainers? I am interested.

[vmalloc]

@pierreluctg we would be honored to have you! We need to tidy up the CI first (@ayalash will tend to it in the upcoming week) and then we will add you as a maintainer officially

[vmalloc]

@pierreluctg Just updating that we haven't forgotten about this. We still have to finish a pending change that is necessary in our opinion to fix the CI and make it more useful for contribution checks. We will update as soon as we finish with it

[pierreluctg]

@vmalloc thank you for the update
