- y4mi 7y ago> Why not transfer ownership to someone else? > Frankly, I don't want to put the work into vetting a new maintainer or transferring ownership to an organization. Stuff like this scares me. he addressed why he chose not to transfer ownership.
- OskarS 7y agoI feel like the argument he put forth is entirely reasonable. He cannot possibly vet a new maintainer, so if the project is to live on, have people fork it and let the community decide which fork they want.
