Re: Maintenance and future of Guile

I'm not sure how all this ended up. But, I would encourage and love for Maxime Devos to be a Guile maintainer. Always great feedback in Guile and other projects (like Fibers) and I really feel Guile would benefit a lot from their contributions. Just a thought. Aleix On Tue, Dec 21, 2021 at 6:27

Re: Maintenance and future of Guile

I am in the same boat as Taylan and Olivier. My knowledge isn't up to snuff to be a full fledged maintainer, but I would love to contribute more. I'm able to give 5-10 hours per week to whatever tasks we need to keep things running smoothly. On Fri, Dec 17, 2021 at 9:19 AM Olivier Dion via Develo
