Request to be added to the libs team to help maintain heapless

[zeenix]

Hi,

You may have noticed that I've been pushing for a heapless release on and off for the last few months now, mainly on the matrix channel. 😆 I managed to convince folks to give it a bit of time and helped prep the 0.9.0 and was very glad when it happened. 🥳 Unfortunately it had to be yanked because of a breakage but 0.9.1 hasn't happened for months, mainly due to maintainers not having the time^1 to review the remaining PR that's tagged for 0.9.1. So we're still stuck with no release for more than 2 years and a lot of fixes and improvements remaining in git.

It was suggested to me that if I want to really change the maintenance status of heapless, I should volunteer to join the team. While I'm not a huge contributor to heapless, I've contributed a few PRs and (as I wrote already) helped with getting 0.9.0 out. If it helps, I'm the creator and maintainer of zbus, a crate with over 25 million unique downloads on crates.io alone and maintain a few other crates too.

^1 I'm not blaming anyone. I know very well, that one can get busy with life and work-work.

I vote yes. I changed jobs again and I've had even less time to maintain libs team repos these days.

You should open a PR for this similar to #854

Very understandable and relatable. :)

Sure thing. I had just assumed a PR would be too presumptuous to start with but with your +1 and suggestion, I feel confident enough to do that. :)
