Does anybody on the fedi Laravel community knows Aaron Francis? It's really sad that his (awesome) fast-paginate package seems abandoned like this, maybe just a statement acknowledging he can't/doesn't want to maintain it anymore can make the community fork it to keep it maintained. This L11 support PR has been opened and unanswered for 2 months already.
@j3j5 Aaron isn‘t the fastest with merging those PRs. On a recent episode of his podcast, he acknowledged that. (Recently lost his job and has 4 small kids)
Maybe a friendly email that states that the PR can be merged as is and a new version can be tagged (because you tested that everything works for L11) helps.
I had to DM him a couple of times for the L10 release last year to upgrade a certain package.
@stefanzweifel yeah, I don't want to put any pressure on him, at all, honestly, I didn't even comment on the PR just to avoid that, that's why I asked if anybody knows him because a friendly nudge is always better than an email from a stranger (imo). Can't think of a way to word that email that doesn't sound beggy, it's just a pity because it's a great package.
@stefanzweifel no worries, there are already enough comments there. I have a fork with that PR already merged that I'm using in the meantime. I held my nose and went to twitter to check and apparently he's aware of it🤷
