These include #317 and #318 (@eschnett), #331 (@r-chris), and #342 (@OmriRoames) (plus 2 more from myself).\r\n\r\nCan I ping whoever maintains this package a bit of general HDF5 community attention? Apologies in advance for being pushy, but I'm going start with @timholy, @simonster and @tkelman. Not sure who else might have merge permissions.\r\n\r\nFor obvious reasons, *HDF5.jl* is an important package for getting real work done. I completely understand that everyone here is a volunteer and is busy - and if the package needs more maintainers to share the workload, I'm sure there's a few of us willing to help out. And again, sorry for being cranky and pushy!!!\r\n\r\n`</end rant>`"}}
