Fabric: do you need help?

Hi!

I am really enthusiastic about this project. It has helped me tremendously in automating some processes that were hard to automate with Ansible (because too custom) or Puppet (because too ad-hoc). I want to use this project in the long term so I'm hoping I can contribute back with patches and reviews.

Unfortunately, it seems a lot of pull requests and issues are unanswered here. Do you need help?

I see that your (@bitprophet) GH status is currently "Focused on features & crit bugfixes, no time for triage rn", but there's no one else with access to the Invoke and Fabric projects on GitHub, which makes me worried about the proverbial "bus factor" on top of short-term maintenance concerns.

At the very least, here, #1960 should just be merged to unbreak the test suite. I think that qualifies as a "crit bugfix". :)

Anyways, this is an offer for help. I understand that free software projects, in general, are done on a best-effort basis, and I don't expect you to just jump up to attention because I am excited about your project. And particularly now, with the health situation, I would totally understand if this project would take a back seat.

And that's why I'm offering help. :) I'm happy to do some triage of the issue queue and provide patches for critical problems that come up, or as much involvement as you can allow or require. I understand that other collaborators here might be available to provide support and triage and it might be helpful to give them access too (thinking of redkrieg on irc for example).

Thanks for your hard work and this awesome project!
