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

[Guilherme Kenji Chihaya]

Dear professor Pebesma,
Thank you for responding to my request. I don't know how to reach Seong-yun
 outside of github and his email. I hope that he sees this thread and lets
us know if he agrees with us taking over maintenance or if he has other
wishes.

I see your PR on GH but I don't seem to have write access to merge it. What
would be the correct way of continue the work? Could we work from a
forked repo?

Kind regards
Guilherme
