Some of those issues are opened by me, not beause I plan to be a DIH maintainer myself, but I was hoping that Rohit had some real interest in forming a comunity. Turns out that the plugin is as good as dead on arrival, which is really disappointing.
We as the donator could perhaps help by sending an email, with a reminder that DIH is being deprecated and that the new plugin really needs more maintainers. That’s why I filed https://github.com/rohitbemax/dataimporthandler/issues/12 <https://github.com/rohitbemax/dataimporthandler/issues/12>, else people arriving to the page would not even know how to contribute or become a committer. I could whip up a PR for the README inviting contributors, but I’m honestly not so sure that newcomers would feel welcome, as their contributions would likely attract no attention :( So I wonder if instead someone (Ishan?) should setup a new GitHub organization, migrate the project there, and add Rohit and others as maintainers. That lifts the burden off one man's shoulders.
