⚠️ State of the Plugin ⚠️ - Seeking Interested Maintainers

[JLLeitschuh]

Hi All,

👋 @Tapchicoma and I are the primary maintainers of the ktlint-gradle plugin. Actually, honestly, @Tapchicoma has been doing most of the work on the plugin for the past few years. Unfortunately, over the past few years, my personal ability to maintain the plugin has gone from actively writing to simply reviewing external contributions. @Tapchicoma also has limited time of-late. However, I'm finding that I have limited time for even that these days. I'm not completely stepping away from the ktlint-gradle project, but what I am seeking is others to step in and help maintain the plugin.

I'm looking for individuals who are interested in potentially taking on a larger role in the plugin's maintenance. I'd greatly appreciate assistance reviewing pull-requests and eventually passing along the tasks of cutting a release to others. I'm a security software engineer, so I understand the risks of just handing off a project to a stranger (eg. the event-stream), so I'm looking for someone to develop a rapport with.

Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in getting involved with the project. Or simply start reviewing PRs or providing support on issues. Any support at this point would be greatly appreciated.

To provide an update on this:
Since this was posted, I have stepped in as the primary developer. @JLLeitschuh still reviews PRs and helps out here and there. I have done a lot of work to get the plugin caught up and working with the latest versions of Gradle and Ktlint. I have also been working my way through the backlog of issues that piled up. But I always could use more help, particularly on the Android side, since I don't do Android development. I appreciate the patience of everyone who has reported issues as I work through these things.
