Plugin adoption: I'd like to co-maintain http-request #342
Description
Hi! 👋
The adopt-this-plugin topic brought me here. I'd like to adopt and co-maintain this plugin.
Who I am: I recently became the maintainer of discord-notifier-plugin through the Adopt-a-Plugin program (RPU #5271, with @MarkEWaite's approval). Since taking it over I've merged a long-standing truncation bug fix (#159), shipped release 281.v41a_01a_c2e7dc, and have a dependency-modernization PR up (#165 — unirest-java → Apache HttpComponents swap).
Why http-request: it's a widely-used plugin (30k+ installations) sitting on a backlog with no active day-to-day maintainer — recent history is almost entirely dependabot bumps. My recent work maps directly onto it: the discord-notifier swap was a from-scratch migration to CloseableHttpClient with proxy/timeout/multipart parity, which is exactly this plugin's territory. Old PRs like #137 (proxy auth), #124 (redirect handling), and #53 (Authorization masking) are in the same problem space.
What I'd do first: triage the open PR queue (some date back years), work through the high-signal issues (#319 error masking, #320 secret-text credentials, #323 proxy env vars), and keep releases flowing.
@janario @MarkEWaite @oleg_nenashev @sandi2382 @Ralnoc — would any of you object, or better yet, like to hand over with your blessing? Happy to take pointers on anything load-bearing I should know about.

While waiting on maintainer feedback: @Ralnoc, I'd be glad to give #338 a detailed technical review as a first contribution — it's the most recent substantive change in the queue and pairs with #337. Happy to do that before any of the paperwork resolves.

+1 from me.

@MarkEWaite @Ralnoc — thank you both, appreciated!
Two notes:
Handle correction: my original post mentioned
@oleg_nenashev, but that handle doesn't resolve — the account is @oleg-nenashev (hyphen), so the ping never landed. Fixing here so it does: @oleg-nenashev — I'd like to co-maintain this plugin; details in the top post, and there are already two +1s above. No rush, chime in as you see fit.On #338: understood, @Ralnoc — I'll hold off until your cleanup pass lands. Ping me here whenever you'd like the second pair of eyes.

@h3nr1-d14z I put this plugin for adoption ages ago, and I have no objections

thanks Oleg! the adoption went through on the 8th (RPU #5273, with Mark and timja's help) — bit of a head start, but glad to have the original owner's blessing too. we're keeping busy: backlogged PRs are moving again and the plugin is on continuous delivery now.

closing — the adoption is complete: RPU #5273 merged 2026-09-08 with Mark and timja's help, Oleg (original owner) has no objections, CD is enabled and shipping (1.26, 1.657, 1.658, 1.659), and the PR backlog is moving again. thanks everyone.
