I wish GitHub had a proper UI for
deprecating/abandoning projects and
setting another fork as the canonical source.
More project authors should create organizations that can live on as the canonical source of their projects. That way, there never has to be a 'slightly more canonical' fork, but instead just a new maintainer.
This is my new habit.
I always open an organization first.
First, it's easier for people to contribute when something is associated with an organization, they feel the credit is more evenly distributed, it's also easier to just leave since someone can jump in with no URL changes. Easier on the users, easier on the contributors. Win
