Hand off ownership if abandoned?

[acahir]

Seems lots of people still find this utility useful, but with 9 PRs waiting and 2 years since update, could it be handed off?

If no response from owner, should we create a new "official" fork? Just looking through the PRs there's a few important ones in there.

This library is dead, are there any alternatives?

[WickyNilliams]

You are right, I have not been doing my job well as maintainer. Life gets in the way sometimes.

There are some PRs outstanding, but nothing major in my opinion. What do you see as important?

I am not keen on handing over ownership after the recent event-stream debacle. However, I would be open to having a few maintainers help out. I would always be available to advise/comment on PRs issues etc.

PS. I never understood the attitude that if there are no commits, a project is dead. It still works perfectly. Having 9 PRs on a project with > 10k stars is definitely not a bad state of affairs

My issue with Headroom at the moment is the headroom--bottom class doesn't get applied on newer iOS devices, it's broken.

[WickyNilliams]

I don't have an iOS device, so I am not able to debug that. And nobody has proposed a PR to fix

@WickyNilliams https://www.browserstack.com/open-source might be a solution.

Update: i'm hoping to get some help with maintenance very soon, so the lib doesn't stagnate further. I'll post back as the situation improves

[WickyNilliams]

Well the people who said they'd help never did...

@hacknug, you've been incredibly helpful in responding to issues in the past. Would you like to assist? I'm trying to go through and get all issues/PRs cleaned up now, so everything will be in a good state

[hacknug]

@WickyNilliams sure thing! Just let me know how can I help 👍

[WickyNilliams]

@hacknug amazing. I really appreciate that!

For now, i think just helping out in issues/PRs is enough (which I see you've been doing already), until I get everything in order. I am happy to give you permissions to merge/push/close issues etc once I get to that point, if you would like?

I am away from tomorrow, so will pick things back up early next week.
