But there have been multiple people willing to help on issue #388 [1], without any concrete reply. I would like to ask you here, whether you would allow any other contributors a commit access to the repository. If you have some conditions which a potential co-maintainer has to meet, please say them aloud. You said your are open to maintainers joining on, but haven't said nothing about your conditions. Both Debian and Fedora has not a short list of downstream patches applied on top of the last Avahi release. Many issues are open and not being worked on, pull requests are not commented on in months. I think the offer of Neustradamus to move to an organization is reasonable. Not sure if there is another way to add commit rights to your personal repository. We can fork your project and start merging those requests manually. But it would be much easier if you could transfer existing issues and pull requests to a common organization and give permissions. If you want to be organization owner, fine, just say it. Certainly you should be administrator there, your expertise is vital. It seems a personal repository still allows some ways to collaborate [2] with more people. I think now we are missing mainly two things: - a person with time to read issues and pull requests and categorize them. Labels are a good thing and it would be nice to prioritize bugs, grouping important and unimportant. - a person with the language understanding and commit access able to merge I messaged Adrian some time ago. He mentioned you talked, but no change is visible to us. Still not a single comment, commit or a label change. I have talked with Till Kamppeter on Ubuntu Summit in Prague, he said you are just too busy and likely it would not change anytime soon. Would you be able to give some access to other collaborators before the end of this year? I am willing to maintain a fork and invite more people after the next year unless something changes. I think the existing code is fixable, it just needs more eyes and hands. If you have any vision how to allow that, please share it.
