Maintenance and support of this repository

Context

The last update in this repo dates back 2+ years ago (Sep 16, 2022).

The encoding/json library has evolved (slightly yet) e.g. https://go.dev/doc/go1.22#minor_library_changes (see this code snippet), and will evolve in the future (e.g. golang/go#45669).

The issue tracker in this repo has grown around 35+ more issues that have not/partially been addressed since the latest change to the repo.

Questions

1. Is this repository still maintained?
2. If it is not maintained anymore, should there be a banner indicating it / should their be a call for maintainers?

This issue is not meant to be aggressive or negative in any ways, I just stumbled upon the above and figured it was worth clarifying the current status of the repository.

Thanks! 🙏

Hello @taowen ! Thanks for the answer 🙏

I suggest adding a small banner in the README to notify people of the status. WDYT?

In addition to that, it's a bit complicated for anyone to know what taking on the maintenance of this repo looks like. What are the next steps? Where should one start? Are there how-to's and guides that I'm not aware of?

Should there be a call for maintainers on the #golang-nuts Google Groups? Maybe there's been one already, sorry if that is the case.
