Unmaintained

[martindevans]

This repo appears to be unmaintained.

The last commit was 8 months ago, we've got PRs which have been waiting for months to be merged, Wasmtime is on version 43 but wasmtime-dotnet is on version 34. Unfortunately I think this inactivity has killed any momentum the project once had :(

What steps do we need to take next to find a new maintainer? I think Wasmtime has a process for this.

@jsturtevant are you still up for maintaining this repository? If not I can work on updating the README here and archiving this and no worries.

[martindevans]

archiving this and no worries.

By archiving do you mean killing wasmtime-dotnet entirely?

Hopefully it goes without saying that's not the outcome I'm seeking here!

[alexcrichton]

Er, sorry, I mean moreso let's figure out the current maintenance story. I know very little about this repository myself. Let's see what jsturtevant says and possibly go from there. I'm not the best person to run maintenance of this repo and while I'm ok being cc'd here I'd like to mostly just assist in figuring out who better to delegate this to.

[martindevans]

Phew! 😌

I'm certainly not expecting you to take over maintenance of the repo! You just seem like the right person to kick off the process of finding a new maintainer if necessary.

@alexcrichton It's been a week with no response at all, what's the next step for finding a maintainer? Does wasmtime have a process for this?

Sorry to ping you about this again :(

[jsturtevant]

Hey, Sorry for the delay, was AFK for a couple weeks. This is a project that I don't use so it's been hard to keep it up to date with all the changes coming from wasmtime. I had some ideas on automating it to reduce the burden but haven't gotten around to it. I am going to ask a few other folks in the c# sig to see if they have interest as maintainers will follow up by next week.

[jsturtevant]

Just following up, we are still discussing options. Thanks.

@jsturtevant any update ?

[jsturtevant]

We made some progress but got stalled on some permission set up. Looking at it again this week.

@jsturtevant could you also clarify the usage of AI for contributing code ?
