Description
As this project has grown significantly and now requires substantial time and effort to maintain, I was wondering if it might be feasible to transition or transfer it to Microsoft or another open-source foundation. Since they already maintain the Java ecosystem for VS Code, they might be well-positioned to manage it effectively.
That said, I’m unsure of the process for such a transition or even if it is a viable option.
I will tag some Java maintainers here, if there is possibilty of this to happen.
