Finding a co-maintainer or passing the projects completely to someone else has been in my mind a long time but it's not a trivial thing to do. For example, someone would need to have the skills, time, and enough long-term interest specifically for this. There are many other projects needing more maintainers too. As I have hinted in earlier emails, Jia Tan may have a bigger role in the project in the future. He has been helping a lot off-list and is practically a co-maintainer already. :-) I know that not much has happened in the git repository yet but things happen in small steps. In any case some change in maintainership is already in progress at least for XZ Utils. -- Lasse Collin
