Problem/Motivation

Based on the following statement, this module appears no longer to have active maintainers:

According to their drupal.org profile pages, both module maintainers aren't active anymore in this community.

(@johnwebdev has written it on his profile page that he is no longer working with Drupal, and in case of @anon this is my assumption because I have not found any contribution credit or release within the last two years).

Maybe someone volunteers maintaining this really exceptional module?

From https://www.drupal.org/project/linkit/issues/3292870#comment-14875949

I reached out to johnwebdev via the Drupal profile contact form but have not heard back. The other maintainer does not have the contact form enabled.

I am therefore offering to co-maintain the module to provide a Drupal 10-compatible and CKEditor5 supported release and keep it alive until #3317769: Add support for linking to entities in CKEditor 5 lands, following the process outlined in https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership

I am a maintainer of multiple other contributed modules on d.o, and have architected similar solutions as provided by Linkit, such as the CKEditor5 implementation for https://drupal.org/project/url_embed.

Sorry for not replying on email. Yes, I no longer work with Drupal actively, but we plan to make a new release for Linkit soon.

@johnwebdev Do you mean you do not need a co-maintainer who helps with that new release, or that you prefer adding new co-maintainers/maintainers after the new release?

Sounds like a new Maintainer or Co-Maintainer would make sense?

@mark_fullmer still interested?

@johnwebdev do you agree? Or any other candidates?

I'm still available to be a maintainer, yes. I guess the next step is to create an issue in https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership, referencing this issue, right?

It is enough to move this issue, rather than creating a new one.

I am going to contact anon, which is the project owner and the only user who can administer co-maintainers and maintainers. He logged in on drupal.org three months ago.

(anon has his personal contact form enabled. If his personal contact form were not enabled, I could still use it, since I am a user administrator, on drupal.org.)

Also, as clear from the issue summary, the project link is https://www.drupal.org/project/linkit.

This is the message I sent to anon.

Hello Emil,

I am contacting you because Mark (https://www.drupal.org/u/mark_fullmer) offered to co-maintain LinkIt (https://www.drupal.org/project/linkit), a project you created, for which you are project owner and maintainer.

Ma you post a comment in https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3338953 about accepting or declining the offer? Without a comment posted on that issue in the next 14 days, Mark will be probably made co-maintainer (user with all the permissions on the project, except the permission to administer co-maintainers and maintainers). None of the current co-maintainers/maintainers will be removed from site moderators, nor will the project owner be changed.

I am contacting all the users with the permission to administer co-maintainers/maintainers for that project, which in this case is only you.

Best regards,
Alberto Paderno
-- Drupal.org site moderator
-- Drupal.org project moderator

I changed status, since we are waiting for a reply.

@johnwebdev He needs to comment on this issue. He cannot reply to my contact message, as we need a publicly visible reply.

There has been no reply for 14 days now, setting status back to active.

Linkit is kind of a "rockstar" module in the Drupal ecosystem with >100k installations and is preventing many sites from upgrading to v10. I'm supporting Mark's application and hope we'll see a D10 release for Linkit soon.
