[discussion] adding maintainers to the project

Continue discussion from #140

@atainter do you time in the meanwhile to review PRs and issues?

Thanks,

Hi all,

As much as I would like to contribute to open source, I don't think I can right now because of my other responsibilities. I might have time to jump back in at some point, but I don't know when that will be.

In the meantime, I'll talk to our legal team about adding maintainers to the project.

@alexandremorgado @dodikk You both seem pretty active on this project. Would you be interested in becoming contributors?

@atainter , @DavidSchechter I'm definitely interested to try but I'll definitely need some help

1. I still might not understand how some parts of the code work
2. I'm pretty bad at AsyncDisplayKit (Texture) so I'd like my fixes to be reviewed and corrected.
3. I'm pretty busy at my primary job so I might not be capable of solving the "PRs do not get reviewed" problem alone.

Hi guys! I am in the same situation as @dodikk. I like NMessenger very much, I would like to help, but I have that exactly 3 limitations exposed by him.

This is what i think:
1, 2. it something that you can learn in time
3. You don't have to do it alone, with growing popular of this library, a lot people will start asking to be a contributor.

Hey guys, just an update. I've been talking to some people in our legal department about adding contributors (sorry, it takes quite a bit of time :/). I think I should have clarity on this by the end of the week.

As far as 1 and 2, I can provide some feedback if you have specific questions, but I do agree with @suprie. It shouldn't take too long to learn this library (it's pretty minimal). We also have quite a few unit/UI tests that should be run before merging into master which can help find potential issues.

[atainter]

Update: I still haven't gotten a response. I'm trying to follow up with some other people about this.

[alexandremorgado]

I really would like to help as a maintainer, but I can't take this responsibility for now. At the moment, I'm the only iOS dev on my startup, where I have other roles and responsibilities, so I could not have time to learning NMessenger and Texture in deep. Sorry, guys, sorry @atainter.

But I'll try to keep helping participating and eventually submitting PRs.
