Hi all,
thank you for this helpful library, which provides OpenStreetMap OAuth support to JOSM. I wonder about the future of signpost. Is this project still maintained? As of today, there are 16 pending pull requests. Some of them are crucial in order to use signpost in a modern application. Do you plan to merge them and release a new version of signpost? Would you consider boarding another project maintainer?
Thanks,
Simon for the JOSM team

Hello,

I've taken over the repo a few years ago, but recently it's hard for me to find a time to maintain it. If anyone is interested in participating as a maintainer of even taking over the repo, yes, I will consider it.

Thanks,

Takahiro Poly Horikawa

Hi,

JOSM has been using signpost for 9 years. Over the time, a few patches
have been applied to the code. [1]
I (and/or Vincent, also from the JOSM team) would be happy to
back-port those changes and get a new release published (setting a
minimum requirement of Java 8).

Please let me know how to get involved!
Thanks,
Simon
