Description

The project is losing maintainers. I am still doing some jobs but not as much as before.
I also don't have enough time to finish time consuming jobs like #5299

Yes, any project lose momentum at some point. But it doesn't necessarily means dying.
If anyone is interested in the project, but not diving in it because the project looks less being maintained, it is an opportunity for you.
Please contact me anyone who is interested in this project. I will try my best to support to do it.


I joined this project to get better at Rust. And had awesome years thanks to many great developers.
