Maintenance & Governance of standard

Author: mcollinaCreated Nov 14, 2023Updated Sep 21, 2025

After a long twitter thread and looking at the contribution graphs, it seems that to keep supporting Standard users, we need to come up with some new governance.

I maintain hundreds of packages relying on standard, Including the whole Fastify organization (discussion link https://github.com/fastify/fastify/issues/5159). It seems simpler to help maintaining this than moving all of those to a different formatter / linter.

@feross said he would trust me to help with governance and kickstart the work again.

Should we schedule a quick call?
