Hi Frank,

Thanks for the interest in transferring pytest-ordering over to pytest-dev!

Keep in mind though that the intent of moving plugins over to the
pytest-dev organization is not to transfer maintenance responsibilities,
but a way for plugins to get more visibility and prevent "plugin
abandonment", where the sole maintainer is no longer responsive and the
plugin is effectively dead because nobody else has commit/publishing
rights.

Having said that, before moving the plugin over to pytest-dev (which it
would be welcome otherwise!) I suggest to find some co-maintainers first,
so when the plugin gets transferred, it will have someone to fix the
eventual bug or merge a PR.

People have had great success getting interested co-maintainers by posting
to mailing lists and Twitter, as well as asking if any of the previous
contributors would be interested in being co-maintainers; it might be
surprising how sometimes people step in.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,
Bruno
