riot-desktop: update to v1.5.6 + Questions
Does what it says.

As I am currently not using VoidLinux actively on my main machine and still don't fully grasp the whole electron build process, I am looking for a new maintainer who is more familiar with yarn and that stuff. How do I indicate that?
And just out of interest, is anyone actually using riot-desktop on Void? Seeing the electron label here on github doesn't indicate high praise for electron in general among Void users.
And even though I didn't update for several versions, not one person complained via email, so I assume that nobody would miss the package. There's a flatpak and a snap anyway. So I guess it wouldn't be a big thing to remove the package entirely. One fewer electron app, yay.

A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/18044.patch is attached

New comment by Hoshpak on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/18044#issuecomment-570919577

Comment:
You could create an issue requesting for someone else to take over maintainership or just orphan the package. To do that, just change the maintainer field to "Orphaned <orphan@voidlinux.org>". Popcorn indicates that there are at least 3 users of the package as is reflected in the current data: http://popcorn.voidlinux.org/popcorn_2020-01-05.json

Since only a small percentage of Void users run Popcorn, there are probably more. As much as I dislike Electron and would like to throw all Electron packages out of the repository for good, it seems to me that this package is useful for people and it should be handed over to a new maintainer directly or orphaned but not removed.
