Hi everyone,

Please read with the caveat that this stems from a gut feeling that's not yet 
quantitative verified.

As pytest-dev is growing, so is the number of projects that suffer bus-factor 
and/or non-maintenance.


I believe a more active approach to ensuring maintenance /maintainer influx is 
needed.

Else projects like pytest-asyncio, pytest-xdist, execnet, apipkg and more are 
just going to face bitrot and pain.

The ratio between people with maintainer bit vs people that can and will do the 
work seems to be at a alarmingly low ratio.

I don't have a good idea for changing that yet, but my impression is that we 
gotta start doing the work to ensure pytest-dev won't turn into a graveyard 
with a few pained grave keepers.
