New maintainer?

[hch12907]

The rust-netlink crates have seen very little maintainer activity for a while:

• Remove #[non_exhaustive] on some structs #21 was opened in 2023, it's now 2025, that PR is still unreviewed.
• Other crates like netlink-packet-utils also have PRs dating from 2 years ago, without receiving feedback.
• The Fuchsia people ended up making a hard fork (!): Use thiserror Errors instead of relying on anyhow netlink-packet-utils#13 (comment)

Perhaps it would be better if there are new maintainers (even if only part-time) to look after the crates? After all, the rust-netlink has only 1 member right now very few active members right now.

Thoughts?

If you wanna take a review on your PR, I'm happy to see it (I was on vacation and had limited capacity for these days)!

Note that not all the members set visibility as public, though indeed some members are inactive currently.

Yes please!

The main problem though is not that my PR is unreviewed... rather, it's about the slow (or even lack of) maintainer activity surrounding the rust-netlink crates.

I see, I will modify the description of original issue to reflect this.
