No, that’s not what I know. What I know is that projects get forked if they have developers who irreconcilably disagree with the current maintainer about the future direction of the project. (If the current maintainer has gone AWOL, that’s merely a special case of this scenario.) But the new maintainer comes first, and the decision to forks comes afterwards, because without a new maintainer, there is no fork. Therefore: > I'm not volunteering (I'd be horrible)... just seeing if it's > time to have that discussion. If you’re not volunteering and no one else does, then “having that discussion” is pretty pointless.
