Looking For A New Maintainer

[daveaglick]

As much as it pains me to write this, it's time to see if I can find Buildalyzer a new, more productive home. Despite my best intentions over the last couple years, I think it's become obvious to anyone engaged with this project that I just don't have the personal bandwidth to give it the attention it requires. This decision hasn't been made lightly - I've been thinking about how to move forward on several of my projects for a long time as my kids get older and my family takes priority for an increasing portion my downtime. In this case, I think the best thing I can do it set the project free.

Which brings me to this issue: Buildalyzer needs a new maintainer. I'm looking to completely divest myself of this project and transfer the repository to someone else who's able to do a better job triaging issues, reviewing and merging PRs, and generally keeping it up to date. I don't want to be in the middle of progress, so I think the best thing is to move completely out of the way.

Some of the more recent active users include @Corniel, @0xced, and @phmonte. Likewise I also know that stryker-mutator is one of the bigger consumers (cc @rouke-broersma, @dupdob, etc.).

Are any of you (or anyone else out there) interested in taking over Buildalyzer? If so, drop me a line and we'll figure out the best way to transfer the project!

Hello, I wrote you an email.

I'm more than willing to actively support the continuation of this wonderful project. I'm not sure, if I'm the best person to take the lead.

It gives me great joy to see that as niche as this project is, we've built such a great community around it. @phmonte has agreed to take on the role of lead maintainer and I'll be transferring the repo to him shortly 👏. I'll continue to stay involved as a contributor as much as I can (though as everyone has seen, that tends to be bursty these days). I'll also act as something of a liaison to the MSBuild and .NET tooling teams who have always been very helpful on this project when we've had questions.

I see good things ahead!

Great to hear we can keep on using this project! Thanks @phmonte for stepping up :)
