Description

Hi @danielgindi.

After some digging I found this issue https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart/issues/5268, and wanted to ask about the future of DGCharts. As you are probably aware the [EU accessibility act](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/accessibility-of-products-and-services.html) will come into effect in 28 June 2025 with significant financial penalties for companies that do not meet the accessibility requirements.

I have not looked into the state of accessibility support in DGCharts, but we're having internal discussions about whether to switch to native Swift Charts. One of the decision criteria is regarding the future maintenance of this repository. I see there has only been a handful of commits in the last year and since Philipp has walked away without indicating any clear successors for the Android version, it is only natural to ask the same questions about this repository.

Do you have any succession plans for this repository such as archiving it and taking ownership of an official fork?
