Since you said you are the only remaining active developer on Sunrise, |
| 20 |
and the proxy-maintainers team has quite a few more, and we now have |
| 21 |
git pull requests for the main repo, I don't think that reason is |
| 22 |
quite so important anymore. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Of course you are free to continue with Sunrise, but in my opinion the |
| 25 |
first port of call for user contributions should be proxy-maintainers. |
| 26 |
It is better to include useful packages in the main repo, don't you |
| 27 |
agree? |
