A few questions come to mind.....
How involved do you think you'll be in the near future or a year from now?
Do you have time and interest in doing a 2.0 release out this year?
Do you still want to maintain taglib? Who else has currently git write
access?

Depending on how you answers those, it may be beneficial to find additional
co-maintainers to handle releases more often (especially the bugfix
releases).

Cheers,

Sander
