[OSM-talk] Joint statement from Quincy Morgan and the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s Board, regarding iD development

[Mateusz Konieczny]

Are there plans to find maintainer who would be taking care of iD without expectation of
full time development? (useful if looking for a suitable full time developer would take longer,
at least dependencies could be updated, and maybe merging of some PRs if they would have
time for that).

Also maybe a separate maintainer for https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema
would make sense and make easier to find full time developer for iD?
