I would love to see someone from our team pick up namcap maintainership, take a look at all the pending patches, bugs on the tracker and keep it in shape. Is anyone interested in potentially picking up this task?
I may be interested. Actually I'm quite interested but have a couple hesitations:
* Python isn't my favorite or strongest suit. I can get around in it of course, and for maintenance work and facilitating other contributions I think it would suffice.
* I'm close to maxed out on time commitments and don't want to say I'll do more than I'll actually get around to doing. I can at least help transition it from "abandoned" to "maintained" mode. I probably can't spearhead an effort to overhaul it or take it in bold new directions, but I don't necessarily think that's what it needs either.
If fending off bitrot and facilitating other contributors is what it needs, I'm willing to jump in. It would be nice if at least one or two others were interested in joining that effort in tandem though.

I am also interested and can drive the Python side of discussions/reviews. I am definitely also interested in the technical side of changes, but if someone can commit to co-maintaining with me focusing more on that side, it would be optimal. Similarly, I am also have a bottleneck on time commitments, but that mostly affects development or reviewing large changes. I work remotely, so I basically spend all day in front of the computer, which means I should be fairly responsive for things that don't require me to take a big chunk of my time aside.
