Hi everyone, Just would like to bump this and ask if anyone is interested in putting themselves forward for the Channels maintenance team. I am not eager to bring Channels under the Django umbrella project with just me as the only official person looking after it; while I have a decent amount of time to dedicate, security coverage, burnout and the "bus factor" both mean a single-person project is not the best approach.
