Transferring ownership

[RazrFalcon]

Due to various reasons I will no longer be able to maintain this project. This includes even minor staff like accepting PRs and pushing releases.
Therefore I would like to transfer ownership to someone else. This includes giving an access to this repo, svgtypes repo and simplecss repo + cargo packages.

If no one is interested in maintaining this project I will simply archive it for an unknown duration.

I could help with maintainance, ideally maybe with a group of people? @LaurenzV is probably best qualified (he told me that you two already talked), but maybe more people can lighten the load a bit.

Looking at crates.io, pretty much all the big UI frameworks depend on it ... egui, iced, slint, tauri, druid, kas-gui.

I think it makes sense to ping the folks from these projects since they don't necessarily watch this repo (@emilk, @hecrj, @ogoffart, @lucasfernog, @cmyr, @dhardy).

Sorry to hear that @RazrFalcon. I wish you and your country the best.

I can't take on development or active maintenance of these projects. If you wish to merely pass on ownership, I'd suggest setting up a new GH org, transferring repos there, and adding some of the above-mentioned people as owners.

I would like to bring this up in our Linebender office hours tomorrow and gauge our level of interest in being an umbrella for these crates.

@hecrj I believe resvg is critical for iced.

We (Linebender) have discussed this in our last 2 weekly office hours and have been in touch with @RazrFalcon in email with questions and a proposal.

[RazrFalcon]

resvg is part of the linebender organization now.

Any new plans for performance improvements or new features for the future?

[RazrFalcon]

@yisibl from who? I bet resvg would simply enter a hibernation state.

[yisibl]

from who?
@RazrFalcon I mean for the new team.

I bet resvg would simply enter a hibernation state.

This is sad news. Anyway, resvg was a great project and thanks again for all your efforts on it.

I mean for the new team.

In the short term our focus is on the migration. There's plenty of maintenance related changes needed to make sure that resvg follows the Linebender standards and thus can continue to be fresh and open to contributions. As for performance or features, both are going to be unchanged in the short term.

Longer term we do have some ideas on how to improve things. However no specific plans to talk about yet.
