I think the title should change to include abandoned apps in general. In the past there were some attempts to “foster” such apps with some success, e.g.
- Adopting abandoned apps
- @Levone1 has also started a thread: Aarch64 RPMs (share)
- @coderus has also a thread: Contribution required. My orphaned projects
- @kraemera has created an similar issue with interesting comments/documentation links: Can somone take over the development of Tasklist?
Most of these apps are open source ones and there are repositories in github. Also in OpenRepos there are many “forked” releases of apps. Is there any guideline how an abandoned app can be fostered, do we need some more documentation to encourage new developers?
ps saying all that, we do respect and appreciate the initial developers work for all apps.
