New maintainer needed!

[gabm]

Introduction

I do not have the time to maintain and/or develop Satty further. In fact, I recently had to migrate away from Linux :/.

At the same time, I am proud of the traction that Satty achieved so far and I still believe in its mission. Therefore I am reaching out to the community. I know that many of you are developers and I am sure there are people that are interested in pushing this forward. Required skills: Rust, GTK, a good vision and a warm hand with the community. If you are interested, please let me know!

Work as a Maintainer

There are two topics, that need to be worked on. My observation is, that both needs to be done at the same time!

1. Solid technical foundation: This is the basis. We neeed to ensure that Satty builds fine. We need to process incoming PRs. We need to respond to bug reports and direct users to solutions. Occasionally, we need to fix bugs or invite contributers to do so. We need to trigger releases from time to time, so that improvements reach users timely.
2. Ensuring a future: We need to have a vision on where to take Satty. We need to find and define its place in the ecosystem. We need to engage with the community about these ideas. We need to promote Satty on social media and get feeedback about how its being used and by whom.

Ways forward

I am prepared to give Satty away, if someone steps up. But I don't think that it is strictly necessary at this point. I am also open to some kind of co-maintainership, where someone would help with the technical side. This way, we could also ensure a smooth learning curve etc. After all, I am interested in keeping the tool and the community alive.

@schaumtier @LordMZTE given your recent contribution, maybe you would be interested?

Thanks, but I unfortunately moved away from Rust a while back, so I don't feel like I'd be entirely up to the task. I have worked with GTK (and Relm4 a while back), but I also don't really have the time. I'd definetely be open to contributing regularly, but maintaining is a little much :D

I have almost no experience with rust. I personally don't use it. My PRs are mostly copy-paste from existing code in the project... but i have no idea about the whole thing. So i'm sorry, but that won't work.

thank you, I appreciate your comments!

May I ask in what way does it need to be maintained? Maybe giving a bit of details would attract more potential maintainers
