[R-sig-Geo] New maintainer needed {sfdep}

[Roger Bivand]

I would encourage someone committed to raising their package maintenance skills to take over from Josiah.

I've created a PR https://github.com/JosiahParry/sfdep/pull/43 bringing the github repo into submittable shape, so if Josiah could check my updates and if OK submit, the person taking on maintenance would not have an immediate fire to extinguish - the PR contains check logs for R released and development passing OK now.

So if you (single, plural) feel curious, please give sfdep consideration. Josiah does have plenty of other R-relevant work in his current role, and does have a conflict of interest, as he said.

[You don't often get email from josiah.parry using gmail.com. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ]

The R package {sfdep} which is a humble attempt at a "tidy" interface to
the mighty {spdep} needs a new maintainer. It is currently scheduled to be
archived on Feb 19th due to some notes
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_sfdep.html.

I am no longer able to maintain the package due to a conflict of interest.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone else would be willing to take over
the package.

If you are interested, please do let me know!

Thank you,

Josiah
