Co-maintaining Conflict module for Drupal 8

As part of porting Deploy to Drupal 8 (#2608242: [deploy] Deploy module) we're a team of people who are working on a suite of dependencies consisting mainly of Multiversion. With Multiversion entity revisions are no longer linear, they can be trees (or rather a directed acyclic graph). And we're looking to add the ability to handle conflicts and merge strategies for revisions.

I think it would make sense to use this module namespace, hence me asking to become co-maintainer for the Drupal 8 version of this module.

The high level overview of the plans for our take on the Conflict module for Drupal 8 would be:

• Optional dependency on Multiversion (to support revisions as a graph where revisions may conflict with each other, i.e. have the same parent revision)
• Provide a plugin system consisting of two types of plugins: Unattended and Attended merge strategies
  • On entity save an unattended merge will always be attempted
  • On failed unattended merge the user will be notified and can solve the conflict with an attended merge in the UI
• Default plugins we are considering to implement:
  • Unattended: Recursive 3-way merge (to handle cases where a criss cross merge have happened)
  • Attended: Pick a winner
  • Attended: Manual merge (using something like Code Mirror for the merge UI)
• Stand-alone Composer libraries for handling the actual merge and finding lowest common ancestors in the graph

If your future plans for Conflict module and Drupal 8 doesn't align with the rough plans I've outlined above, then I would just go ahead and create another d.o project for this instead, but thought it would be worth asking for this namespace first :)
