Maintainers needed

[Jason Cornez]

Hello Faré,

Thanks for this.  I'd be interested in joining sharplispers.  Does anyone know the process for that?

I'm willing and likely capable of helping, but I don't have time to actively find a project to adopt.  So a more central place for issues to be handled, regardless of project, is attractive.

Maybe this could be a topic at the 2018 ELS in Marbella?
