No Active Maintainers? New Maintainers Needed? How to Proceed? about validator.js HOT 11 OPEN

I'm down for that.
Also thinking of having you and @WikiRik finally take full maintainer (merge) roles -- also can get ready to prep the next release.

I'll have the publishing rights for now but also work on transitioning that too.

We'll just need to establish a few ground rules on ownership and responsibility. I'll work on that.

Tagging @profnandaa @ezkemboi @rubiin @braaar since I'm interested to see what they think.

Personally, I think adding additional maintainers would be better for the project and I would refrain from going to a fork. Most of the PRs, issues and downloads will still be going here and I think we still have the chance to revive this repo.
I have experienced the same feeling as you since I do have some refactoring and removing technical debt that I want to work on (like #1874 and #2159 ) but that I haven't worked on recently since chances of it being merged anytime soon are small

I think we can pick some users from the active contributors.

I think I would have to decline a full on maintainer role even though I am rather invested in this library. My time needs to be prioritised downstream in https://github.com/typestack/class-validator, where I am now a maintainer.

As with class-validator, I don't think a rut in activity is a reason to fork and divide the community. We rather need to focus more on building a community of people helping each other out. For class-validator we have set up a triage team to help handle much of the issue and PR workload.

If the workload is too much for the current maintainers. I am open to becoming a maintainer here too, just to open, close or label issues. Honestly just offering my services to lighten the load and make this project better.

@profnandaa what do you think on onboarding few new members from active contributor list

from validator.js.

I'm open to the idea of adding more maintainers to help. I think it has just happened that most of us I've been caught up with other stuff.

I'll be around to provide operational support.

Can I get some proposals for those who would like to be maintainers? Please link the currently open PRs they have reviewed.

Above all, thanks for your concern! ❤️

PS. I should get some time this coming weekend to prepare a release. I had several build errors last time that put me off.

Sure thing. Down to that as well

@profnandaa yes, please do the ground rules on ownership and responsibility and all will be good.

any news on the ground rules mentioned above?

I would like to be more active here as well, but currently my time is not fully permitting it, but that hopefully should change within the next 6 months
