Help react-native-mapbox-gl maintainers to support Mapbox v10

[mvanroon]

See discussion here: https://github.com/react-native-mapbox-gl/maps/pull/1222

TL;DR:

• Mapbox v10 is great
• Mapbox stopped supporting react-native in 2019
• Upgrading react-native-mapbox-gl to Mapbox v10 takes effort: estimated at 150 hours
• More and more users are using the official Mapbox SDK through react-native-mapbox-gl

Any chance Mapbox could help out with engineering effort or financial aid so that @mfazekas can get the upgrade done?

More and more users are using the official Mapbox SDK through react-native-mapbox-gl

Some usage statistics to quantify this:

When @mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl was deprecated, it had roughly 16k downloads in February '19. @mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl had 53k downloads in October '21.

@mvanroon can we find some time for a call to determine what this would take? I'm tlee (at) mapbox (dot) com -- please send me an email so we can explore the possibility.
