Hello Faré,

Thanks for this.  I'd be interested in joining sharplispers.  Does anyone know the process for that?

I'm willing and likely capable of helping, but I don't have time to actively find a project to adopt.  So a more central place for issues to be handled, regardless of project, is attractive.

Maybe this could be a topic at the 2018 ELS in Marbella?

Many prominent CL developers have stopped maintaining their CL
projects, as I myself may do soon:
Nathan Froyd, Henrik Hjelte, Hans Hübner, David Lichteblau, Gabor
Melis, Nikodemus Siivola, etc.

Some of their projects have lots of unanswered PRs on github an some
even break when compiled with a recent Quicklisp and/or the newest
ASDF. Many don't break yet, but issue warnings and may break in the
future.

Some old farts like Gary King or I only do minimal maintenance of our
own projects, and we're mortal — I'm considering quitting even that
maintenance.

Since I'm jumping ship, I won't be the one to fork these projects and
give them a new home (though I'm available to do it, for my consulting
fee, if there's enough of a market). Some of you CL professionals
should do it and/or fund it. https://github.com/sharplispers might be
a good home.
