Package Proposal: geolocator

Dependency name (as used in pubspec.yaml): geolocator
Current pub.dev link: https://pub.dev/packages/geolocator
Current Git repository link: https://github.com/baseflow/flutter-geolocator/tree/main/geolocator
Description: What seems to be the most popular flutter plugin for acquiring geolocation.
Current maintainer: mvanbeusekom
Needs new maintainer after transfer: YES (if the current maintainer remains unavailable)
New maintainer (if applicable):
Reason for transfer: This is a very popular, mature library for acquiring geolocation, a central functionality of many apps. Unfortunately, it seems to have gone unmaintained since a couple of months. Since many developers use this plugin in production apps, there would be great interest in reinstating ensured long-term maintenance of the project.
