Maintenance status and plans

Bonjour @albanm and other XSLT enthusiasts! Thanks for your work here.

I see from comments at https://github.com/albanm/node-libxslt/pull/73#issuecomment-580799569 and https://github.com/albanm/node-libxslt/issues/68#issuecomment-461075364 that @albanm may be looking to transfer maintenance and npm module ownership. @albanm would that be your ideal outcome or are you happy continuing to review and merge PRs and do releases? Or perhaps you'd like to have a co-maintainer? I ask because I know being the one person who can do merges and releases can feel like a burden.

I also ask because I contribute to a project that is currently blocked from upgrading beyond Node 12 and NPM 6 by node-libxslt. We're considering exploring a possible patch here for compatibility through Node 16 and want to get a sense of whether someone would be available to review and merge that patch (if we can do it). What would the compatibility expectations be for such a patch? At least Node 12-16? Earlier versions too?

I also wonder whether there are others who might be better positioned to make that change and/or might have plans to take over maintenance. Specifically, I see @alexdee2007 and @renanccastro did the upgrade work to Node 12.

Thanks!
