Publish new tag

[mfridman]

Any chance we could get a new tag, maybe v1.2.0?

There's been a few notable changes, 2263edb...4990573

@mitchellh, I am excited about the upcoming release of the new tag.

bumping this thread if a new tag could be created 🙏 @mitchellh

Would be great to get a new release since this is published as an official Buf remote plugin and their policy is to only publish stable releases.

I'd be happy to lend a hand in maintaining this repository.

Indeed we package and publish this plugin to the Buf Schema Registry as a community plugin given its popularity. https://buf.build/community/mitchellh-go-json

@mfridman Given the lack of response and the popularity of the project, any chance Buf would fork and maintain this plugin?

Bump. Bump. @mfridman Can we get a new tag of this with the optional fields please?

[mfridman]

I'm afraid I cannot create tags within this repository and I'm also a bit wary of forking to avoid fragmentation. It'd be useful to understand @mitchellh's direction for this project.

Although we package and publish popular plugins on the BSR (https://buf.build/plugins), we don't have the cycles to maintain all of them.

The best I can do is offer to help lightly maintain this repository.

We got the answer we were looking for, https://gist.github.com/mitchellh/90029601268e59a29e64e55bab1c5bdc

Kudos to Mitchell for his work. I'll be forking this project to https://github.com/mfridman/protoc-gen-go-json and pick up maintenance there, I'll file an issue with next steps.
