I thought the whole point of the repo in the original link was that somebody does want to maintain X.

  Right, and I wish them luck. Though signs point to this person not being a good mainainer - breaking basic features and so on. Maybe this is needed to get into a long term better place though.

    > Though signs point to this person not being a good mainainer I don't know about that. If you read through the whole issue which was linked, you'll see the guy was quite responsive, fixed the issue very quickly, and gave a reasonable explanation as to the cause of the issue. > Maybe this is needed to get into a long term better place though. Yeah, agreed. I think a separate repo/branch seems like a good place for him to do his work, so he doesn't have to mess with the core repo and has no chance of breaking anything. I do sympathise with the X maintainers - 1500 commits is a lot to try to keep up with, particularly if you're not very interested in maintaining the thing. I feel like doing the stuff he's doing as a ton of PRs might be a mistake - a separate branch and a couple of huge PRs might have been a better approach. Maybe he'll be able to make some progress and improvements. That would be cool. I guess we'll see.

    Not working with the Xenodm people also seemed like a sign of bad maintainership to me. I don't think the baseline is hard to improve on and him forking it is almost certainly a step in the right direction.
