Hello again,

It’s been Ben Schmidt who’s been maintaining it for the last many years. Dunno if he hasn’t got the time any more?

Dear Ben,

Do you mind adding other contributors as maintainer to update the source code?

Hi!

I have been struggling for time recently, though I hope it might change 
soon.

There are some technical challenges to adding contributors with how 
we're currently set up.

However, anyone who's willing to contribute a high quality patch won't 
be turned away, and if we get a few such patches, it will be worth the 
effort to get access sorted out.

So please get in touch if you have a patch, and feel free to reach out 
to me personally if I don't see a post on the mailing list.

Smiles,

Ben

If you need help migrating to a more feature complete dev-platform like
github/gitlab/gitea whatnot I would be willing to invest some time in it :-)

Dear Ben,

we’d like to sponsor for some features as we discussed one year ago, but i didn’t get your further reply. :(
I wonder whether you’re still open to this.

Hi, Zhang,

You're right, and I'm sorry, I never did get back to you about this.

I am still open to the idea, but I need to do some prerequisite work on
the codebase before I can offer you any real value for money. Otherwise
your money would go towards tidying up, not towards the features you
want. I'll see what I can do in the next few weeks. Expect an update in
March.

Ben

I think I might take you up on that. I had another idea I was interested
in trying, but in the meantime I have become more familiar with GitHub
and its features, so I think it would be worth moving there.

In what ways would you be able to help? I should be able to easily
enough create an Mlmmj organisation and push the code for starters, but
I would definitely appreciate help migrating issues from the bug tracker
and turning existing patches into branches with pull requests.

Smiles,

Ben

github supports migrating from existing git/hg repo, you can give it a try, should be easy and painless. :)
