I am really sad to hear this news.
Currently, only three members have the commit access to the Vim repository,
but no one has the admin privileges of the Vim organization.
I'm going to ask GitHub support to request the admin privileges for the three members.
I also think that it would be better to enable GitHub Discussions in the Vim repository.
At least, the following two issues should be moved to Discussions:
https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/12728
https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/12730
The problem might be that they are not redirected to the vim_dev mailing list.
What do you think?
Regards,
Ken Takata

As all of you, so was I deeply shocked when I heard the news. Bram was a
great leader
to the Vim community and I really enjoyed working with him over the past
years, since I became
involved with the development of Vim almost 20 years ago.
Bram was of great inspiration in creating a great community, helping
people with his charity and
he was a great mentor. And now he left too soon. We lost a great leader
and I regret never having
met him in person...
However to all of the community: I will continue and I hope all of the
other contributors will
also keep up the good work. I do have access to the Vim homepage and the
Vim organization (not sure
if all the rights, but I am sure we will work on the details in the near
future.
Once I return from vacation, I'll go through the PRs and review them
(and also commit the missing
patch to github). I'll welcome anybody to contribute to make Vim better.
I still don't know all the internals of the various areas (vim9, virtual
text, syntax highlighting to name
a few) and I don't know how much time I can dedicate, but I hope
together we will be able to continue
successfully.
Thanks,
Chris
