Help with maintenance?

Hi @pemistahl ,
Just wondering to see if you're open to getting some help in maintaining grex.

As you know, qsv uses grex and I was hoping to build on it to make the JSON Schema regex validation more robust.
https://crates.io/crates/grex/reverse_dependencies

Some things I was hoping to do:

• remove lazy-static dependency
• use fancy-regex which supports backtracking
• have it recognize common regex patterns, and use optimized regular expressions (e.g. email, URI, etc.)

FYI, I help co-maintain several other crates - calamine, geosuggest, etc.

If you don't see yourself having time to work on grex, I also wanted to see if its OK if I create a renamed fork of grex.

This is what I did with qsv - which was originally based on xsv.

grex is a wonderful library, and I hope I can help.

Hi @jqnatividad, thanks for your concern. I'd prefer if you simply opened pull requests here with features and improvements that you have implemented. I promise to review them shortly. If you provide valuable additions, I'll be open to discuss a co-maintenance role for you. Do you agree?

Thanks @pemistahl for your quick response!

I'll start submitting more PRs for the things I listed above.

Speaking of which, can you review #311 and let me know if I need to do anything else for it to get merged?

Hopefully, with more PRs and in time, I can earn your trust to help maintain grex.

I will review your PR this week. I've been busy with private stuff.
