 [glutin] is a low-level library for OpenGL context creation, written in pure Rust.
 [glutin] uses and re-exports [winit], which handles window creation and management,
 as well as various input devices.
 
-glutin 0.27.0 makes glutin use the latest version of winit (0.25.0), which was
-released around a month prior to glutin 0.27.0. Usually, we try to keep glutin
-synced with winit, but we couldn't quite manage to do it this time since the person
-who'd usually take responsibility for releasing a new version of glutin was
-unavailable, and no-one had the role of "back-up releaser". [@maroider] has offered
-to fill this role for now.

 The upgrade to winit 0.25.0 brings with it a slew of bufixes, a couple of new
 features, and a single breaking change to
 [`WindowBuilderExtMacOS::with_activation_policy`], which has been replaced by
 [`EventLoopExtMacOS::set_activation_policy`]. For a full list of changes, refer
 to [winit's changelog].
 
+------
+
+The departure and disappearance of a couple of maintainers has left winit in need
+of someone knowledgeable with X11 in order to review pull requests and address
+various issues. Other backends also need some more love, but X11 is the most
+pressing.
+
+We could also use more helping hands in general, in anything from mapping out
+platform differences and triaging bugs to reviewing PRs and tackling outstanding
+issues. We'd also be happy to have you even if all you do is answer platform-specific
+questions for us. If you're interested, come say hi in our [matrix] channel or on
+any of the [other services] we've bridged with matrix.
