[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Looking for a new Raspberry Pi image maintainer

Hey,

I started building Raspberry Pi images because I thought there should be an
easy, official way to install Debian on the Raspberry Pi.

I still believe that, but I’m not actually using Debian on any of my
Raspberry Pis anymore¹, so my personal motivation to do any work on the
images is gone.

On top of that, I realize that my commitments exceed my spare time
capacity, so I need to get rid of responsibilities.

Therefore, I’m looking for someone to take up maintainership of the
Raspberry Pi images. Numerous people have reached out to me with thank you
notes and questions, so I think the user interest is there. Also, I’ll be
happy to answer any questions that you might have and that I can easily
answer. Please reply here (or in private) if you’re interested.

If I can’t find someone within the next 7 days, I’ll put up an announcement
message in the raspi3-image-spec README, wiki page, and my blog posts,
stating that the image is unmaintained and looking for a new maintainer.

Thanks for your understanding,

① just in case you’re curious, I’m now running cross-compiled Go programs
directly under a Linux kernel and minimal userland, see https://gokrazy.org/

Best regards,
Michael
