Hi,
I've been keeping an eye on Boost.Varinat for a few years. Since then multiple issues were closed; support for rvalues and variadic templates was added; other good things happened.
Could I be promoted to an official maintainer of Variant?
Have you tried contacting either of the library developers to see if they are still interested in maintaining the library ? I see an e-mail for one of them, Eric Friedman, in the libs/maintainers.txt list. If there is no interest by them in maintaining the library I don't personally see why you should not be the official maintainer of the library. But I do not know who actually decides on such things.
This will help me to react on issues faster (email notifications) which is essential. I'm also planning to add missing features from N4450 without affecting the current never-empty behaviour and without breaking existing code.
