Became a maintainer for 2
somewhat old repositories,
can't wait to clean them up!

I can almost smell the excitement!

@PonySlaystation I only smell the moldy spaghetti

@ScriptCoded Oh, you mean the changelog?

@sariel Well it's a public project, nothing to do with my job and my companies crap.

@ElectroArchiver that makes way more sense.

Good luck!

Do you prefer if we call you the cleaning lady from now on?

@ElectroArchiver Oops, it seems I misunderstood it as ironic. But yeah, sometimes such refactoring can be pretty cool, just not what I'm currently used to maintain ...

@PonySlaystation I actually misunderstood your post as unironic. How ironic.

That moment you start maintaining one public repo then start tracing issues to dependencies that also appear barely maintained or archived and realize how the life of many of these useful projects is barely hanging by a thread and relying on the goodwill of a single person.

Examples of such widely used packages in the NPM ecosystem that are in dire need of extra, active maintainers: debug, highlight.js, nunjucks, auto-changelog, imagemin.

@webketje Fucking reply resetting my comment!

Well, I wanted to maintain them as they are Atom ( now Pulsar ) packages ..

Sarcasm?

@PAKA No, I love cleaning up old repos.
