For the past 8+ years, Neil Drumm (drumm) has been maintaining the API module, and I've been co-maintaining it for the past 3+ years. (This is the module that builds and displays the Drupal API reference site api.drupal.org). Both of us have "some" other responsibilities in the Drupal ecosystem, and we'd like to find a new co-maintainer.

The ideal person would be:
- A good PHP coder familiar with and willing to follow the Drupal project's coding standards
- Familiar with the api.drupal.org site and its features
- Familiar with the API docs standards
- Familiar with both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 core code (or at least familiar with the kinds of code it contains and the Drupalisms that it has), since both are displayed on the site
Of course, all of these "ideals" are negotiable and/or learnable, and it could be that a few co-maintainers would be better than just one.

The next step would be for the person or people who are interested to start making patches for a few issues, and once a few of those have happened, we would consider making you an official co-maintainer. The project page has a link to documentation for how to get a local API site set up, and the module also has a robust set of tests. The code in the API module is somewhat obtuse, but I'd be happy to start anyone out with a quick tour (or help you find an issue to work on). The module runs on Drupal 7 only at this time, and this is unlikely to need to change anytime soon (it displays Drupal 8 code but runs on Drupal 7, like the other *.drupal.org sites).

So if you're interested, you can either jump in and find an API module issue to work on and make a patch, or use my contact form or IRC to contact me and discuss.
