Hi David,

I would like to adopt and volunteer to be the new maintainer of the Course Request Manager plugin which appears to be abandoned since 2018-09-17 (almost 3.5 years).

I have attempted to contact the maintainers directly and indirectly on multiple occasions over the past 6 months through Moodle.org, GitHub, direct email and even LinkedIn (I tracked them down) enquiring about their plan to continue maintaining and update this plugin to fix it up and make it compatible with recent versions of Moodle, or alternatively to transfer its ownership to me. Sadly, I never received a response. Neither of the maintainers has logged into Moodle.org since early 2019.

I am already maintaining a fork of this plugin since early 2021 which includes many fixes for bug, accessibility, language, Moodle 3.9-3.11 compatibility, UI and usability issues. I also integrated commits from other forks of the plugin. I would like to make all these updates available to the Moodle community on Moodle.org.

Please let me know if there is anything more that I need to do or that you would like to know.

Best regards,

Michael

cool! - I do see the developer is active in github (in his other repos) so I've just created a tracker issue in his repo here:
https://github.com/Kylegoslin/moodle-block_cmanager/issues/128

If we don't hear anything back - David can reach out via the email addresses stored in their moodle.org profiles.

Hi David and Dan,

It has been a month since my request to adopt the Course Request Manager (cmanager) block plugin. I was wondering, could I please get a status update?

Please let me know if there is anything more that I need to do or that you would like to know.

Best regards,

Michael

Thank you Michael for the reminder.

I can confirm our attempts to contact the original maintainers were not successful and they have not logged in to moodle.org for almost three years now. As such, we consider the plugin abandoned and I am happy to hear you volunteer to adopt it.

I just made you the new lead maintainer of the plugin. Please start with updating the plugin record, pointing the SCM and tracker locations to your own clone. Pity we haven't heard from Kyle and Daniel so we could not have the current Github repository transferred.

Good luck with the maintenance of the plugin.
