Hi,
The maintainer of EXWM is not responding to their Gmail email account nor
participating in EXWM's Github site any more. This has been going on
for quite a while now, making it necessary to consider a replacement
maintainer, at the very least on a temporary basis.
Does anyone know how to contact him or knows what might have happened
to them?
In the mean time, Adrián Medraño Calvo <adrian@medranocalvo.com> as
stepped forward to generously take over as acting maintainer.
Anyone interested in helping the development and maintenance of that
nice package should contact him.
Stefan

The guy behind System Crafters [1] had a streaming session on EXWM and
its future recently. It might be good to liaise with him/them as there
was talk about forking the project.

That is an opportunity to move it off GitHub and onto a site that respects
freedom more. I think one is sourcehut.

Thank you for the announcement and thank you very much for your help.
I just pushed version 0.25 to GNU ELPA with the latest changes from Chris. Let’s see how that goes.
Kind regards,
Adrián.

Thank you for the pointer.
The author participates in EXWM’s repository and is aware of the news.
I have yet to find the time to see the videos; the “Improving EXWM // Hack Sessions” extremely valuable, especially with regards to easing contributors into EXWM. I’ll contact him.
Kind regards,
Adrián.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I plan on keeping everything as-is until July 2022, when two years will have passed without news from Chris Feng, EXWM author. Then a new maintainer will have to be chosen (perhaps still me?). This maintainer shall decide how to proceed.
Kind regards,
Adrián.

That's a good way to proceed. It would be a mistake to do anything to
discourage the old maintainer from coming back, while there remains
hope that he will.
