Contribution/Maintenance of @graphile/federation

[mgagliardo91]

Summary

We are looking at using postgraphile for a new project with part of the decision based on its compatibility with Apollo Federation or the latest GraphQL Tools Schema Stitching. I set up a boiler plate project with postgraphile and a local Apollo server and found that this plugin did not work as expected with the latest versions of federation. I then stumbled on a fork of this repo from last year https://github.com/jarvisuser90/postgraphile-apollo-federation-plugin which got me further but also needed a few changes. I opened a PR to that repo at brooklyn-labs/postgraphile-plugin-apollo-federation#11.

Unfortunately, I don't think the maintainer of the fork as an active user anymore which puts me in an odd place. I would prefer to get those changes, and possibly the diff in the fork, into this repository instead, but I have feeling the fork was created due to changes not being merged here in a timely manner.

Does anyone know the current status of this plugin? Would it be better to fork again and keep things moving or would pull requests to this repo be looked at versus left to go stale?

I would much prefer to keep things here as this feels like this most official place for the plugin to thrive, but I am unsure how the activeness.

Thanks for the information!

Please maintain a separate plugin, this plugin is currently unmaintained - all focus is going into PostGraphile V5.

If you get it working well enough I'd happily review a PR that points people to your repo from the README.
