Hi all!

It's sad that sigrok is not receiving much attention and I understand
the original maintainer(s) might not have the time or interest to
continue development. However, the project  still works great for many
use cases and there are a lot of PRs open on github, many of them
reasonably new - currently being ignored and authors demotivated.

I think the community should offer a helping hand with the project and
offer at least some basic support in running the project. Depending on
how the original authors want to be involved, I think it would be a good
idea to appoint some community maintainers (ideally somebody who
contributed in the past) and give them enough privileges to merge PRs
and potentially release new versions. Alternatively, people could
volunteer to review & test PRs -- I'm up to looking into some, but it is
unclear if it would lead to something, since not even some simple ones
are being merged for around a year.

What is the general sentiment about this? Is there a will to help keep
the project running from the community & current maintainers?

I hope we won't let the project just die, since it's a crucial piece of
opensource software in the embedded engineer's toolbox.

Best regards,
Ladislav
