Call for Maintainers

[theHamsta]

I'm not using nvim-treesitter-textobjects that frequently and I'm a bit short on time to implement urgently needed features and refactorings for this plugin.

@kiyoon was already helping already a lot to revive this project. Thank you again!

We had some ideas on open task discussed here:
#329 (comment), #329 (comment) . Essentially,

• use Neovim's native query API instead of slow nvim-treesitter.query
• simplify spaghetti code in the code base
• add tests
• implement long open feature request

If you have some open cycles feel free to ping me or comment here if you want to get involved! You don't have to spend a lot of time. Just have a look at open issues from time to time to see whether there is some small thing that you can fix. Shared work is less work for everyone 🙂

Long-term (after much needed cleanup) we could think about upstreaming this into nvim-treesitter itself (combining this with the incremental-selection module, which conversely could also be included in this repo).

Regarding tests: a particular pain point is that we currently don't catch parser updates in nvim-treesitter that break nvim-treesitter-textobjects queries; this would be another (separate) issue that could be worked on.

[theHamsta]

We should at least make sure that we don't upstream (more) bad/legacy code to nvim-treesitter and do some clean up before. No big concerns about upstreaming the queries.

[clason]

Yes, that's why I wrote "after cleanup" ;)

[skbolton]

Working on getting more involved in this project and would love to help out any way that I can.

[quantumfate]

I'm gonna submit a PR soon trying to add a new feature.

Can we have a status update on if the package is still maintained. Because I think it's an useful package used by thoushands (or at least starred by ~2K).
@clason @kiyoon are you still interested to maintain this package
Can you merge some PRs (at least the ones that won't take you too much time to review :) )

Status update is: blocked by #523
