In connection with the transfer of the grass-dev list to Discourse, which I am 
not prepared to follow as it will absorb much more time than scanning the 
digested list headers, I will give up maintaining the R-GRASS interface package 
at the end of 2024. 

The package lives in https://github.com/rsbivand/rgrass and the repo can be 
moved to the preferred location of the new maintainer, and the maintainer 
change notified to CRAN without difficulty. 

The arrival of Discourse precipitates a change that was started before a 
workshop at FOSS4G in 2022 
https://rsbivand.github.io/foss4g_2022/modernizing_220822.html, and several 
GRASS users/developers then contributed to the workshop, and have helped 
improve the package over many years.

Before a hand-over, this group of contributors can go through issues not yet 
formally closed but mostly settled, to make sure that the new maintainer ramps 
up smoothly. 

Best wishes,

Roger
