Hi.

I notice that this crate hasn't had a release in a while, and also that there's just one maintaner.

It's normally a good idea to have multiple owners of a crate on crates.io. That way if for any reason you can't work on the project, your co-maintainer can do so (or, further delegate to someone who actually wants to do the work).

Can I respectfully request that you consider appointing a co-maintainer? They don't have to be someone who's willing to do a lot of technical work. They ideally would be someone you'd trust to steward the crate into new ownership, and/or to do the release work after others have prepared the codebase. So ideally they'd be someone you feel aligned with on philosophical/ideological questions as well as just technical taste.

(Having a co-maintainer on crates.io is much more important than co-ownership of the git repository, because switching to a different crate name is very disruptive for downstreams.)

Thanks for your attention.
