LibreOffice on Chocolatey: looking for volunteers with Powershell skills

Dear all,

Chocolatey is a package manager for Microsoft Windows like repository 
management for Linux or Homebrew for Apple macOS: 
<https://chocolatey.org/>. Once installed the infrastructure, you can 
add several software items by installing packages and updates work just 
by one click. The Chocolatey infrastructure is developed and run by a 
professional company and the individual packages are community maintained.

There are packages for LibreOffice Fresh 
<https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/libreoffice-fresh> and 
LibreOffice Still 
<https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/libreoffice-still> which work 
properly and update automatically.

Unfortunately, the package LibreOffice Help Pack 
<https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/libreoffice-help> is outdated 
by far and is unmaintained, recently. You can find its source here 
<https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-packages/tree/master/manual/libreoffice-help>. 
It's a manual package and broken, recently, as stated before. The source 
for the LibreOffice Fresh and Still can be found here 
<https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-packages/tree/master/automatic/libreoffice-streams>. 
This is an automatic update (AU) package, which means updates 
automatically apply when LibreOffice updates and there's no need for 
further maintenance (except general maintenance over all).

I would like to ask this community if there is someone out there being 
able and willing to help to get the LibreOffice Help Pack back on track. 
Would be very nice and highly appreciated. Around Chocolatey community 
there are actually no applications currently (sadly). Just asking around 
here, just hoping for some effort.

Thank you,

Gunner
