Hi Jonas,

Thanks for sharing the information, I was not aware of these 
initiatives. Having a virtual team would be valuable I think, to 
coordinate and keep alive a wide range of packages.

In this day and age, this collection is dominated by tooling for older 
Mac formats and protocols, so I'm not entirely convinced meta "macos-*" 
packages would have a broad appeal.

Hi Adrian,

Hope you don't mind being looped in on this. We discussed the mac-fdisk 
package several months ago, and I see that y
ou maintain another handful 
of Mac related packages. Would you be interested in being part of a 
coordinated effort here?

Would be great to have a proper team were we to revive this idea. :)

Best,

Daniel
