Opensource.guide: address poorly maintained projects

[jowagner]

The guide so far doesn't address the delicate task of getting an unmaintained or poorly maintained project back on track when one isn't (yet) part of the maintainer team. There are many projects out there that have a small but significant user base and no or inadequate maintenance. Forking is unattractive as one cannot continue with the old project name, website and source code repository. A take-over attempt can easily get messy and fail. Some guidance how to best approach such situations would be useful.

Thanks for the issue! We're not currently creating new guides at this time. My personal advice in those situations would be forking the project and, if the fork gets enough steam, considering renaming the project.
