Consider migration to preservim
Besides the long term lack of activity, I noticed you have marked this as being unmaintained. First of all thanks for the contribution to the VIM plugin space, I have used this for years myself still appreciate it.
I would like to ask if you would be interested in migrating this to the @preservim org namespace. I and a couple other folks have managed this for a few years now as a neutral place to house aging but still useful plugins that still get some community traction but the maintainers have moved on and want to let them go a little bit. We started with nerdcommentor
and also now manage nerdtere
, tagbar
, vim-markdown
, and quite a few others.
The idea is that I and a few others (to include yourself) would just keep an eye out on community contributions and find contributors who have a good track record and give them a little bit more permissions to help with maintenance. My usual modus is to setup a team form anyone ⓐ interested and ⓑ with a previous positive track record of contributions such that the team can manage issues and merge PRs pending at least one other approval and passing CI checks.
If agreeable I would keep you on as owner of the repo but also myself be able to invite people to the team for this plugin. GitHub handles redirects from the old repository location, so most users of the plugin would hardly notice the change. My first order of business would be to setup some basic CI checks to make sure PRs don't outright break basic functionality and then look through the issue tracker and past PRs looking for existing contributions that should be included and with a weather eye out on if there is anybody to invite to help with maintenance.
I can't promise anybody will step up run with it, but at least the friction will be lowered on contributions so that there is a chance any needed fixes or improvements can get through.
If your are interested in this let me know and I'll invite you to the org and we can get started.
