+# Looking for Maintainers
+
+**Unfortunately I ([timche](https://github.com/timche)) don't have the required time anymore to maintain this library and give it the necessary attention. Therefore I'm looking for maintainers that are willing to take care of this library on a long-term basis.**
+
+Requirements:
+- Having knowledge of this library and open-source in general.
+- Keeping the philosophy and goals of this library.
+- Taking care of issues and pull requests.
+- If required and reasonable, working out next versions of this library with the intention to improve it with the community in mind and not for the sole purpose.
+- Knowing what's good for the library and what not (e.g. not accepting every suggestion) in order to maintain the library scope.
+- Having knowledge about the tooling (CI, build system, etc.) and the docs and maintaining them.
+
+It's also possible to join [redux-utilities](https://github.com/redux-utilities), an umbrella organization of complementing redux utility libraries like this one, to take care of few or all libraries. Please let me know if you are interested in that. 
+
+Please send me an email (adress on my profile) with the subject "redux-actions" and some information about you, if you want to be a maintainer.
+
