Status of this package and a way ahead

I wonder if there are many people still using this package? For me at least it is still a very important part of my workflow. There is now org-anki, but it lacks many for me essential features that anki-editor provides (e.g. it only supports notes of type front-back and the front is limited to the heading). What is your experience?

Given that people still use this and that we don't all want to switch to org-anki, it would be nice to have an actively managed and centralized place to discuss and develop anki-editor. As of now there are 86 forks, but none of these have been reforked a lot or have otherwise attracted attention.

Since @louietan is not maintaining this package anymore, maybe he could announce a new maintainer for anki-editor? (Thanks for developing this package btw!) Or the community could decide on one? (As was done at pdf-tools.) Maybe we should also fork the repo to a GitHub Organization so that there can be several maintainers? (As was done at Selectrum.)

Given the importance anki-editor has for me, I would volunteer as maintainer, but the important thing is that there is someone who actively maintains it and there might be someone more suitable. In my fork orgtre/anki-editor I have merged the develop branch into master and made a range of minor modifications (e.g. to allow a more flexible note structure). I also finally published an add-on which allows one to import all notes from Anki into org and anki-editor's note format: orgtre/ankiorg.

Maybe someone else also has some interesting add-ons or modifications to share? And what are your thoughts on all this?
