The Gorilla Toolkit is looking for a new maintainer (or maintainers, 
plural). As the last standing maintainer of the project, I no longer have 
time to fully dedicate to maintaining the libraries here, and 

The major libraries - *mux *(https://github.com/gorilla/mux), *schema 
*(https://github.com/gorilla/schema), 
*handlers *(https://github.com/gorilla/handlers), and *sessions 
*(https://github.com/gorilla/sessions), 
are all reasonably mature libraries, but ongoing stewardship around bug 
triage, feature enhancements, and potential "version 2.0s" are all 
possibilities.

* Have a demonstrated history of OSS contributions. This is important, as 
you need to be trustworthy: _no_ maintainer is better than an adversarial 
maintainer!
* Ideally, you actively contribute for 3-6 months, I merge after you 
review, and you gain the commit bit on the relevant repos after that period 
and/or active engagement on your part.
* I transition you to admin of the project.

> Note: I don't expect this to be quick or easy - the *websocket* library, 
with 16k stars & 15k unique clones per week, has been looking for a new 
maintainer <https://github.com/gorilla/websocket/issues/370> for 3.5+ 
years, and has yet to have anyone reliably stick. If I don't have any luck 
finding new maintainer(s) in the next 6 months or so, it's likely I'll mark 
these projects as in maintenance mode only and archive 
<https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/archiving-a-github-repository/archiving-repositories>
 
the repos.

Please reply on GitHub if you're interested in getting 
involved: https://github.com/gorilla/mux/issues/659

Cheers,
Matt
