Description

This issue is a note about Piper's maintainership status.

Right now, @whot is the official maintainer but he's seriously out of time to work on piper. Which means all but the simplest issues will go largely unanswered. Pull requests will be merged depending on difficulty - new SVGs and translations are easy, debugging complex and device-specific issues are neigh impossible.

This is unlikely to change unless we get more maintainers into the fold.

You can help out by reviewing patches/pull requests and helping users to debug the issues you're seeing.

You can help out by expanding the wiki to explain how to debug issues.

Please do so, otherwise Piper will just sit there largely stale for the foreseeable future.
