Do we have a 9.x implementation issue for deprecating, untangling test coverage etc?

Hi!

I would be interested in maintaining the forum module as a contrib module. The project namespace is created now: https://www.drupal.org/project/forum.

Is anyone interested in joining co-maintainership?

I've been the maintainer since Drupal 7.8 and had already indicated I would continue to maintain it

We were holding off making the new module to avoid issues with composer

Are there any milestones planned for making forum a separate module? Any date at which form won't be hold off?

Since Drupal 10.0.0-beta1 and 9.5.0-beta1 are right around the corner, the Forum module would need to be removed in Drupal 11 (not Drupal 10), correct?

Version: 10.0.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.

I was a little confused by the Fixed status of this, I think it is actually a duplicate of #3261653: Remove Forum module?
