Looking for maintainership

Author: torotilCreated Mar 12, 2021Updated Mar 26, 2025

As it seems @BurntSushi the original author of this software doesn’t have time to create new releases of this tool at the moment — which is perfectly fine and great that he openly communicates this!

Since this is useful and popular software and there are many contributors to this project it would be sad to see it decline. As such this seems a great opportunity to spread the maintenence burden over more people.

In order to do that we’ll need:

  • Someone (ideally more than one person) to step up as maintainer for this project. Maybe @Yomguithereal and/or @jqnatividad who are the maintainers of the currently most active forks?
  • @BurntSushi to hand over the necessary resources once a new team has been found. Are you willing to do that?

Although I’m a developer myself I haven’t done anything with Rust yet, but I’m happy to help out with administrative tasks.

Also please let me know if this steps on any one’s toes. That’s definitely not the intention!
