Hi!

I am not sure if this was posted here, but it seems that the maintainer of JuliaFormatter.jl needs help.

> <https://github.com/domluna/JuliaFormatter.jl/blob/master/HELP.md>

I could try helping, but unfortunately, I’m too involved in other projects, such as PrettyTables.jl and SatelliteToolbox.jl. Therefore, I’m unlikely to be a suitable developer for maintaining such an important package for the Julia ecosystem.

As per the request in the Markdown file I reached out to Dominique two weeks ago offering to help maintain JuliaFormatter, but I haven’t yet heard back. (This was also [discussed on Slack](https://julialang.slack.com/archives/C67910KEH/p1776392180501159?thread_ts=1776375263.480979&cid=C67910KEH), just posting here for a public record 🙂). I sent another email today so will update if I get a response. It’s very unlikely I’ll be able to devote as much attention to it as it needs, but if we agree to transfer the repo I’ll definitely put it in an organisation and try to find other people who might be interested (@digital_carver’s also super kindly volunteered to help out!).
