Proposal: Expanding the project maintenance team

[jpjarnoux]

Hi @jnothman,

Thank you for all the work you've done on upsetplot! This project is very useful and widely appreciated by the community.

I've noticed that there are currently several open issues and PRs, and I was wondering if it might be worth expanding the maintenance team a bit to give you a hand. Several contributors seem motivated to help evolve the project.

The original goal of this package was to replace py-upset, which was no longer maintained. It would be unfortunate if the same thing happened to upsetplot.

Here are some possible options:

Option 1: Direct access

You could grant "Triage" or "Write" access to a few regular contributors. This would allow them to:

• Triage and label issues
• Review and merge PRs
• Maintain the project more actively

Option 2: Create an organization

Transfer the project to a dedicated GitHub organization. This has the advantage of:

• Ensuring the project's longevity beyond individual contributions
• Making it easier to pass on responsibilities if needed
• Building a real maintenance team

Of course, you would keep a central role and control over the project's direction. The idea is simply to support you and make the project more dynamic.

What do you think? I'd be happy to discuss this in more detail if you're interested.

Thanks again for your work!
