Description

I am currently the main active maintainer of the smallvec crate, and I will continue to maintain it until I am able to hand it off to someone else. However, I have not been able to give it the time it deserves, leading to some long-delayed pull requests. Also, a stable 2.0.0 release is long overdue. I'd like to improve progress on these things by bringing in at least one more active maintainer.

The Servo project owns this repo and are the de-facto backup maintainers. @jdm, is there someone on the Servo team who can take a more active role in this crate? And @TDecking, you have done most of the recent work the v2 branch; would you be interested in taking a larger role in getting it released?

Research direction

This issue is about finding additional maintainers for the smallvec crate, resolving delayed pull requests, and progressing the v2 branch toward a stable 2.0.0 release. It names no source files, tests, or concrete implementation task, and provides no newcomer-checkable definition of done.
