What exactly is the state of the governance of this project?
The JavaScript community should be a bit concerned because @zloirock looks like to be the "only" maintainer. Does somebody else have admin privileges to write on this repo? Publish on npm and make this project not to die?
Or the only way is to "wait" for someone to fork this repo? Maybe someone from @babel (poking @nicolo-ribaudo and @danez ♂ ).
A huge open source project ( 25M weekly downloads ) like this should be maintained by more than a single person
Any clues on the future of this project?
PS: I don't know your personal story @zloirock but I'm grateful for your amazing work on this project.. hoping everything will be fine
Edit: This project is dead, see #767 (comment)
