After a long time without touching this repository, I came to the conclusion that I no longer have the will to work on it. This is a free time project and lately I want to spend that time on other things. I don't have the energy to work on features that were in development, review pull requests or look into issues. Even writing this post got delayed for weeks.
I started this project because I wanted to use YAML in .NET and there wasn't any library available to do so. Over the years I've worked to improve it based on my personal needs or on feedback from other users. In the last few years, however, I haven't had the need / oportunity to use YamlDotNet neither on personal nor professional projects. This provides little incentive to keep updating it.
I may return to this project in the future, but for now I don't have the energy to even review pull requests or issues. I apologize to all the people who took the time to develop a feature or report an issue.
Perhaps this project should find some other maintainers, but I don't really know how to proceed. There have been some people in the past who made significant contributions, but I don't know if they would want this additional burden. I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks
