TL;DR - Quill is abandoned, I want to build a community fork
Quill is a flexible and modular rich text editor which gained popularity in the recent years. With the rise of AI-based code inspections, we get new CVEs reported regularly. Quill is no exception here, looking at the list of open issues related to recent CVEs and open pull requests to fix them.
Is Quill abanndoned? 😪
The big question is now: "Is Quill already abandonware?". Maintainer silence regarding issues, PRs and discussions - even related to security topics - and also no answers from direct messages on socials shows a clear indicator that the maintainers do not care or shifted focus.
Let the community take over 🙌
Me and many others do rely on this package, as there are few to no alternatives that provide the same level of text delta handling (and which do not introduce the complexity of OT/CRDT algorithms).
My proposal: if enough people join me, showing me their willingness to contribute to a community fork, then I am eager to create a quill or and fork all relevant packages and start a Quill community.
My past experience in forming a security-aware community around a fork of OAuthJs should be of great help here:

Building a community for a maintainable and sustainable fork 🙌
#4803
Hey everyone,
my last attempt to build an official fork community was interrupted but I want to try again as the original maintainers seem to be unreliable, especially considering the unfixed CVEs 💀
I would like to make a simple vote, please add your reactions:
Who would be willing to...
- join a quill org that forks this and maintains this project under community rule? → vote with 👍
- to contribute either to code, documentation, or work on the module architecture (or all) → vote with 🚀
- to look into issues and PRs and help with triage and/or reviews → vote with 👀
- work on community building → vote with 😄
- sponsor devs → vote with ❤️
I am eager to step up and prepare such things until the community gets momentum and manages itself democratically.
