How do you determine when to bring up the issue? If we have a clear criterion, I can see how Corwin or other volunteers may help - by contacting the package authors by email/on forge they use. > If you are interested in that kind of work looked through the list of > orphaned packages for something that interests you and then offer to > maintain that. That reminds me of Emacs survey. Since the best source of maintainers is package's own user base, may it be a good idea to ask in Emacs survey if people use some orphaned packages? >>> Irrespective of whether worg curators should help with this (or some >>> other vols, or just the org maintainers, or...), I think it would make >>> sense to document these "responsibilities" (and the detail of the >>> plans made in this thread, in general), along with the whos and hows. >> >> +1 > > I'll try collecting existing resources and maybe write some new ones, > but I have a lot on my plate, so this will likely take a while. A draft might be prepared by volunteers. Will it make things easier for you? -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
