It looks like you've forked Milagro on your company account.

This is odd to me.  Why do you require a second set of eyes to merge?  You are

I'm not sure if there was an agreed upon workflow.

Do you have pull requests open?

I would recommend just sending emails to dev@.  See who responds.

With the notes about Miracl, are there any other contributors interested in the 
project?
