[R-sig-Geo] Checking for interest in taking over the development of the seg package

[Edzer Pebesma]

Dear Guilherme, I made a minimal PR here:

https://github.com/syunhong/seg/pull/3

which makes the package pass R CMD check again; it needs some more work 
to clean examples. I'd be willing to help with the sp -> sf transition.

The maintainer (Cc:) seems unresponsive on GH, how do you want to deal 
with that? Maybe give them a call?

Many regards,
