Probably worth me being removed TBH. I haven't made a contribution in years and haven't written a line of C# in almost as long. I love this little library but do not have the time to help out. Happy to make way for someone with the time/inclination. 🥲 |

Done, sorry for disturbing :) I simply looked at https://github.com/reactiveui/refit/graphs/contributors and didn't notice when the commits were made.. |

It's fine! I've been meaning to say something for a while but it kept slipping my mind. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂 |

@hansmbakker I've been wondering the same thing for a while now. It's technically part of the .NET Foundation, so in theory it should be able to be maintained in perpetuity, which is in part the reason I started contributing to it, though activity this year has dropped in comparison to recent years. I think ReactiveUI has a slack channel somewhere you could locate and try asking there as a way to get more visibility if no responses here from those who have permission to merge etc,? |

@james-s-tayler I posted the question in https://app.slack.com/client/T02AG6QJM/C02AJB872 - the answer was
It's a shame because Refit is a great library, but I respect the points above. |

@hansmbakker What in particular do you want Refit to do that it currently does not? |

What I don't get is that it's part of the .NET Foundation, so there should be all the governance required to pass it to new maintainers if needed, so that it can be maintained going forward rather than just kind of abandoned. |

As of now, Refit is not a part of .NET foundation anymore: https://dotnetfoundation.org/projects/current-projects |

Refit is part of the ReactiveUI project, which is a DNF project. |

Just out of curiosity, is this explicitly mentioned in the DNF terms? Because last I checked, the DNF status was per-respository, not per-org and then transitively applied to all projects. It would seem a bit weird if that was the case. |

@Sergio0694 I'll have to come back to you on that one. There are changes happening to the RxUI projects in general in regards to the DNF that we can't discuss yet. |

Refit would be the first library that comes to mind for me when creating a .NET client for a REST API - it has a long track record and great functionality.
However, it was pointed out to me that activity on the Refit repo has dropped - on Reddit people were mentioning Refit's repo inactivity after which it occurred to me that the last pull request merged to main was 9 months ago.
There have been enough suggestions for contributions (PRs and issues) since that time, but I reckon nobody with time has the permissions to review and merge those? I understand that life can happen, or that a shift in interests can happen, but I'm simply wondering whether there are any there future plans for Refit or is there a recommended fork that I should track?
Could anybody from ReactiveUI comment on the status of Refit? (tagging the top contributors - @anaisbetts @clairernovotny @Sergio0694 @james-s-tayler as the ReactiveUI org cannot be tagged)
