I hope to get recognized as a trustworthy packager and become a co-maintainer eventually. I have recently become a sponsor and could help you out to become a packager yourself, so that you can "save" fossil. Thus, let me propose a "deal": I will take fossil in the meantime and to prevent it from getting retired and you will learn how to become a full fledged maintainer of fossil in a agreed upon time frame. Once you're ready, I'll sponsor you into the packager group and you'll take over fossil as the main maintainer. How does that sound to you? I'd be more than happy to help you get started, although I think that you already have a good grasp what's going on given the pull request that you shared. Cheers, Dan
