I figured a central thread to track software looking for new maintainer(s) might be a good idea.
Anyone interested in maintaining otter-browser ?

The qolibri

packages could use some maintainers.

has no maintainer. There is a pending update, but the changelog mentions a few things that will likely require our package to have a few changes.
A number of new packages are looking for a new maintainer now: treewide: remove the-kenny from maintainers by Mic92 · Pull Request #87353 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
Please take a look and consider if you have interest or capacity.

burp will need a new maintainer. It’s a BackUp and Restore Program using a client/server architecture.
I’m no longer using it and thus will be unable to properly maintain it.
Usage seems to be low, but apparently there are some users as indicated by PR 208154 .
I’ll open a PR to remove myself in the next days, if someone wants to take over, please contact me.
