As someone who has spent an inordinate amount of time customizing swashbuckle for work and personal projects, I would be devasted to see this project go unmaintained. I too would be willing to help keep it alive as a maintainer

The developer, @domaindrivendev , is actively searching for someone to take over ownership and if that falls through, he'll actively seek maintainers from the community; reference . @Havunen has created a fork which has included many commits related to issues reported on this repo.

The time saved by this project is major and I sincerely hope the dev understands how much we all appreciate his efforts over the years. Ideally Microsoft steps up to sponsor or even fork it to maintain as their own; in my eyes it has saved us hundreds of hours and switching to a solution like NSwag will take time and investment given we've standardized usage within our APIs.

Unfortunately, it looks like Microsoft will be pulling Swashbuckle from it's WebAPI template moving forward with .NET 9. I hope it means that they will offer mechanisms further extending OpenAPI and Swagger such that if swashbuckle ceases maintenance completely, we have easy mechanisms to replace with what is support by Microsoft.
