Yes, I would welcome help with these packages
But there is also an increasing problem of making decisions about trust
In the case of developers who I haven't met or worked with, I don't
really know how to proceed
I've seen several extraordinary examples of developers doing things that
undermine my confidence in them over the last couple of years. The
fighting within GNU and FSF right now is the latest iteration of that.
Now, whenever I receive a request from somebody I don't know, there is
an extra effort for me to decide how to proceed.
Maybe I can simply resign from maintaining the asio package and then opt
out of the process of choosing a new maintainer.
Please don't take this personally: it is a reflection of the overall
state of free software communities today.
I don't know about the situation with the GNU project and the FSF, but
if there's something you'd like me to do to prove trust, I could do it.
