I see.
I consider myself to be a free software enthusiast and I don't see why any of
the requirements you have should be disregarded. If that is your concern, you
can count on the new team to keep jcal a free software as it always have
been.

Well at least the homepage of the project has not been changed, even on NixOS
repos for example. But even then it'll be quite a task for us to convince all
the distros to migrate. It was only after the bug affected the usability of
the program that volunteers are trying to push the new code onto the distros.
So still I'd like to volunteer and take charge of jcal repo on nongnu, keeping
in mind your requirements. The only change that I don't like yet may be
necessary is that we may make this a mirror of Github (or Codeberg), as they
offer better issue tracking and a nicer UI for contributors. I don't believe
any change will happen to the free spirit of the program otherwise.
