Stepping down as a maintainer #308

Paperclip started off as an OpenAPI tooling library taking advantage of Rust's macros and type system. Initially, I only had client codegen in mind (which was more fun and challenging), but then people liked the idea of autogenerating API docs at server side (which I thought wasn't a big deal), which is how paperclip gained more popularity. Back in 2019, I was actively following everything that happened in Rust community, but as time went on, new priorities took my attention. I thought I could spend more time in 2020, but I couldn't.

This was one of my favorite projects and I had a lot of hopes for implementing more features (OAPI3 support, plugin for rocket, tide, etc.), but given how the past few months have been going, it's time I admit that I won't be able to spend more time in maintaining this project. I've tried my best to implement all features from swagger (OAPI v2) for both actix-web plugin and client codegen and that was the 0.4.0 release. With that, I'll step down as a maintainer. I'll try to participate in discussions every now and then, but no promises.

As for the future maintainers of this project, I have some good candidates in mind: @platy and @dunnock already have privileges to this repo and I'm very happy about their contributions. If @tiagolobocastro, @MikailBag or @sfisol are willing to, then I can give privileges to them as well. Nominations are also welcome. I'll be active in our Discord server, so we can have a discussion there (or through mail, if you prefer).

A hearty "thank you" to all the contributors for supporting this project.
