Maintenance of cobol-mode.el on ELPA

[kristofer@hjelmtorp.se]

Greetings Emacs maintainers.

I noticed in the last update to the Elpa package; cobol-mode.el, that is now orphaned and that you are looking for someone to step up and maintain it.

I would be willing to take over that role if you would let me. I work with COBOL (IBM Enterprise COBOL) in my in daily work and use Emacs
together with cobol-mode.el to do it. My emacs-lisp skills are mediocre at best but I will do my best to fix bugs and keep it working. But my ambition is to work on the missing features listed in the package, update it to include changes in the COBOL standards, improve the indentation and maybe in the future work on a tree-sitter implementation.

I do have very little knowledge about how a Elpa package like this is usually developed and how the commit process works so any information and tips are welcomed.

I have recently signed and sent in my FSF papers.

Best Regards
Kristofer Hjelmtorp
