Are you still interested in maintaining this package? It's been a
couple of years since you've worked on the team repository, so some of
the team are wondering. Please let us know at your earliest
convenience.
I unfortunately do not have the available spare time required to
properly take care of org-mode and org-mode-doc: my last update was
circa 2020 IIRC, and the team's taken care of all the uploads in the
past 3 years so I wasn't aware my lack of involvement was raising
questions or issues. Is there anything I can do to make things
easier/clearer for you? I just noticed I'm still listed in the Uploaders field, is that maybe the issue? I'd be happy to remove that.
Sorry if this came across as pushy and all at once.
Yes, thank you, please update Uploaders for org-mode and org-mode docs
if you're not reviewing the package
Debian Emacsen also has a couple of new members, so if you'd like to
divest yourself of any other packages now would be a great time to
email the team with a list of them.

Hello Sébastien,
Thank you for such a quick reply, and I hope that your circumstances are inspiring-busy rather than stressful-busy! Our team had trouble
tracking under-maintained packages the last release cycle, org-mode fell through the cracks, and the recent CVEs reminded me to finally check-in
with you about the package. Sorry if this came across as pushy and all
at once.
Yes, thank you, please update Uploaders for org-mode and org-mode docs
if you're not reviewing the package, and don't worry because at least
two of us are willing to take responsibility for it :)

Hmm, this situation is not valid -- there must be a human in the
Maintainer field if there is no Uploaders field, as required by the MIA
team. We now can't upload the package without someone adding their name
or us moving it to the QA team.

Not at all.

Done.

I believe org-mode and org-mode-doc were the only 2 packages I ever got involved in as far as elisp goes.

Yup, and openness to a transfer of responsibility is what this thread is about. If you're genuinely bothered by the hours-long gap state, please
let me know how much (PM is fine if preferred). Would you please
clarify if your reply was a mere statement of fact, or if you intended
or hoped it would affect someone's behaviour? Ie: Did you mean "in the future please coordinate the handover of responsibility in a more formal
way, it…"?
Thanks! I've added myself as one of the Uploaders because org-mode is essential software to me (maybe obvious from the changelog).
