Looking for a new plugin owner
Now, I would like to clean up, probably improve and turn xplr.vim into a real and well maintained plugin, with its own dedicated variables and docs. However, I have no experience with vim plugin development and decided that it's better to offload this task to someone who knows their way around the (neo)vim plugin system, so that I can focus more on xplr's development instead.
