Any updates?
Some people did volunteer in this thread

While there were some comments offering help there was unfortunately no actual help contributed afterwards.

Sorry i just read the three volunteer prompts and missed the follow up over the Ros1/2 shim rant. 
Maybe everyone else missed that too :grinning:

I am not sure what you mean with "ongoing process"? We are still hoping for others to help but have reached out numerous time with no effect and don't know what else to do from our side.

The steps from the ticket include reading issues and creating pull request. Maybe people did read tickets and created pull requests: what now? Thumps Up PRs?  I can imagine this is why none of the volunteers did help. I fell somewhat lost after reading the ticket - No Offense, just presenting my own thought process. :neutral_face:

I am spending every few months a little bit of time on catching up with pull requests. Currently I am still working through the tickets on lower level repositories before getting to `ros_comm`. And with the amount of PRs pending in that repo I doubt that I will have time to review all new ones before I have to drop the ball again for another few months. (I am sorry if that isn't satisfactory but I want to set clear expectations.)

It feels like too much for a single person - [Bus factor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor): There should be additional maintainers, right?
