What is the point of converting this software?

Who’s gonna maintain it?

Unless you have interest from the maintainers, you have a bunch of code that no one uses and no one maintains. Good job, folks.

I see nothing on these sites that explain how they hope to drum up maintenance, or even engage the maintainers of the original code.

Once again, the critical part of FOSS is ignored. It’s the people.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.functional.computer/users/samir/statuses/116030683740117334 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
