@armanbilge What do you think the main challenges are here for a new maintainer? Do any big changes immediately spring to mind?

Edit: Also as a maintainer do you have any download/usage stats for this project? I'd be interested to see how widely it's used. I'd imagine a strong closed source/enterprise usage.

Do any big changes immediately spring to mind?

Hmm, possibly Scala 3 support? Not sure what the upstream situation is with that.

Also maintaining support for http4s 1.x (and its milestones) since those are breaking changes.

What do you think the main challenges are here for a new maintainer?

Keeping up with the two upstreams. On the Play JSON side, I have no idea how often they make releases that require changes here. Probably not too often?

For http4s, 0.23.x is stable, but 1.x milestones can have significant breaking changes. If you have the time and motivation to keep up with milestones, awesome, otherwise I think it's fine to backburner it (very few / no repos are working that hard to keep pace).

Also as a maintainer do you have any download/usage stats for this project?

Unfortunately I don't have sonatype publishing rights for org.http4s so I cannot see these stats actually.

I'd imagine a strong closed source/enterprise usage.

Quite possibly, and Sonatype stats often do not measure this well because of internal artifactories that only require a single external download.

@armanbilge I'd be willing to take this on. If that sounds fine to you let me know what happens next, or we can chat on discord.

I use http4s-play-json in my day to day on Scala 2.13 but also have a scala 3 migration planned in the next few months so it feels like a good fit.

@henricook I've added you as a maintainer. Thank you so much for stepping up!

Let's leave this issue open so we can find at least one more maintainer. Then you can review each other's PRs 😉

Happy to volunteer as an additional maintainer here, I work on some of the same projects as Henri but also some diverging ones so suspect it will help with coverage in enterprise projects.

I added Mat, thanks for stepping up! If you two are happy feel free to close this issue :)

I'm going to unsubscribe from regular notifications on this repo, but don't hesitate to ping me if you need help with something!

Thanks so much @armanbilge
