Seeking maintainers

[javan]

I've let this gem linger for quite some time, and I'm sorry about that. I no longer use Whenever at my job, and I don't have time to keep up with issues, pull requests, new features, etc.

If you'd like to pitch in and help maintain Whenever, reply to this issue and let me know why you'd like the job. Ideally you use Whenever at work, but I'm open to anyone who can commit some time.

Thank you! ❤️

@javan I am willing to take on maintaining Whenever. I use it with my team on a large established Rails application with 170 jobs. Until today I have only made minor contributions to Whenever (#620, #621), but I can only imagine our contribution increasing. I have significant maintainership experience, having responsibility for all Adhearsion (http://adhearsion.com) projects for the last 5 years amongst others. Further, my work on Whenever would be sponsored by https://github.com/powerhome / http://powerhrg.com/, the second largest home remodelling company in the US, with 1600 employees and $400MM in annual revenue, so the resources to guarantee attention on the needs of the project are available.

I'll make a pass over the open issues and familiarise myself with immediate requirements; let me know what you think of the offer.

Thanks @benlangfeld. I just sent you an email.

Closing this for now because @benlangfeld is doing such a kick ass job! https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/whenever-gem/5r3cUQ0FDT0

My company has not been using Whenever for a while now, having moved all of our applications to Kubernetes and Resque Scheduler. It's clearly time for someone else to take over maintaining Whenever since I am no longer able to dedicate sufficient time to it.

hey, @benlangfeld I can offer myself to help you out! I don't think that should be a one-person job though, so maybe I can start improving a few things on this repo? (issues template, how to help, creating GitHub workflows as ci. etc)
I'm not very experienced in leading an open source project, that's why I'm offering to help 😄

What do you think?

[benlangfeld]

Sure. Feel free to ping me for reviews and I'll do what I can. Triaging open PRs and issues also helps.
