I'm retiring, so Boost.Filesystem needs one or more maintainers.
This is a high complexity library, further complicated by (1) requiring both Windows and non-Windows implementation code and (2) needing a major upgrade for compatibility with the new standard library version shipped in C++17.
Furthermore, there are constant Pull Requests and Issues that arise, and these almost invariably take a lot of time for the maintainer to process.
I handled some of the critical pull requests for Filesystem, but I'm not the right person to take on maintainer duties for it. I would like to see Andrey Semashev maintaining Filesystem, if he agrees, of course.
