Yes, it's good to go!

Hey. I do not plan of keeping LibreHunt up online anymore. Do you want to become the sole maintainer? We can work a system out. I am planning on archiving this project on GitHub.

Hey. I do not plan of keeping LibreHunt up online anymore. Do you want to become the sole maintainer? We can work a system out. I am planning on archiving this project on GitHub.

As in you want to shut down librehunt.org? LibreHunt can continue as a community-maintained project. I agree on becoming a maintainer, but I'll ask the four other contributors (@adigitoleo, @carlwgeorge, @getchoo, @rugk) to see if they are also interested in becoming maintainers.

There's actually a Flathub application tied to the librehunt.org domain called Organizer, of which I am currently the sole maintainer. In case Organizer gets verified on Flathub, who will control the librehunt.org domain?

[carlwgeorge]

Thanks for the consideration, but I don't have the bandwidth to take on maintainership at this time. My one commit was just a small drive-by contribution anyways. I'll certainly keep the door open for more of those in the future.

[rugk]

Same here, but thanks for pinging. I may contribute stuff so maintenance burden does not may seem that high(?), but yeah… though it's anyway only a static website, is not it?
