Description
Copied from a reddit discussion here:
I don't actually use Lua for anything currently, and I also don't have much interest in returning to Lua in the future. As such, my Lua related crates rlua (and also luster, but that's much less important) are not receiving much attention currently.
That's a real shame, and I'd like to help at least rlua not become abandoned. It needs some work done to it, none of which is terribly complex but I just don't have the time or proper motivation to be the one to do it. Also, I don't actually even think I should be the one to do it, as it's very hard to make good APIs when you don't use your own API.
I'd be happy to guide people through my ideas for rlua and help especially with reviewing PRs for unsoundness, but there is quite a lot of stuff that needs doing in the pretty near term. The internals of rlua are pretty hairy, which is why I don't expect anybody who wants to take up the mantle to go it completely alone, I'll happily be around to help with the hard parts. What it needs though is better leadership and organization skills than I have or at least have to spare currently.
