Would you be interested in maintaining / owning / releasing Firebird separately, under github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy-firebird <http://github.com/sqlalchemy/firebird> ? Because this is not a widely used dialect and I can't maintain CI for it under my own umbrella, it would benefit by being maintained and released separately. We have recently modernized sqlalchemy-access with a new maintainer in a similar way.
