Hello.

I would like to announce that I intend to port the Drupal 7 version
of a Module that is currently being hosted at Drupal.org.

Its name is Last updated
https://www.drupal.org/project/updated

Here's its description:
The Last Updated module provides a checkbox on the node
form that allows editors the choice to display an "Updated"
date, distinct from the "Authored on" date

I have already informed the current Maintainers of my intentions,
and offered to: (A) Leave the porting to them; (B) Collaborate
with them to accomplish the port; or (C) Perform the port
myself according to their wishes.

As for Maintaining the Backdrop version, I also have left it up to
them as to whether they want to: (A) Be the Sole Maintainer;
(B)
Enlist my help as a Co-Maintainer; or (C) Leave me to be
the Sole Maintainer.

The issue queue item that discusses these matters is at:
https://www.drupal.org/project/updated/issues/3496510

I am now awaiting their response. I hope that they will be in
touch soon, so the port can be completed as soon as possible.

Regards,

Graham Leach

In general, I wouldn't expect a response from a Drupal maintainer. In this case, she might respond, but usually they won't for months or even years. I'd avoid asking any questions that need a timely reply, and instead, state your intentions with an option for them to chime in (if they want to).

I'd recommend reading what others have done before:
https://www.drupal.org/search/site/backdrop-port

But it looks like my co-maintainer has responded, so perhaps nolonger relevant for this issue! 🎉

Hello Everyone,

I have received positive confirmation from one of the maintainers that I am welcome to port the Last updated Drupal 7 module to Backdrop CMS, under the following conditions:
