The maintenance that has been done on these packages has mosty just been security fixes and rebuilds against newer go versions, so they have no effective maintainer. To become a maintainer, all you need to do is send a patch / merge request where you add yourself as the maintainer. If you have questions, feel free to drop by on #alpine-devel at irc.oftc.net (either directly, or via matrix). Kind regards, Kevin
