docs: archive 2026-04-29 outreach to upstream maintainer

I copied the outreach email I sent on 2026-04-29 into assets/ so the maintainership-adoption thread has a tracked record in the repo. The .eml file follows the YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-<descriptor> naming so future correspondence lands alongside it.

The email offered three options (push rights, formal handover, consolidated MR batch) and hasn't received a reply as of today, 29 days out.

+Hi Phillip,
+
+I've been using org-drill daily for several years, mostly for language and =
+concept review. It's been a quiet, reliable part of my workflow. Thanks for=
+ the work that went into building and maintaining it.
+
+I've been carrying a small fork at github.com/cjennings/org-drill with a ha=
+ndful of fixes: timestamp parsing edge cases, a window-corruption fix in me=
+rge-buffers, a customizable lapse threshold. Recently I noticed several ope=
+n MRs sitting on the upstream. Some are Org 9.6 timestamp-format compatibil=
+ity patches from late 2024. One is a display-buffer calling-convention fix =
+from this March. Each looks like a one-line keeper.
+
+If you'd rather not spend bandwidth on org-drill these days, I'd be glad to=
+ help. A few options, in order of how much you'd want to delegate:
+
+1. Push rights on phillord/org-drill so I can review and merge the queued M=
+Rs.
+2. A formal hand-over of maintainership, with credit and contributor histor=
+y preserved. I've done this before and know you have as well. I already mai=
+ntain a few Emacs packages, including emacs-wttrin.=20
+3. No formal change. I'd consolidate the queued MRs into a clean batch agai=
+nst your current master, and you'd just need to skim and merge.
+
+Any of those works. If none fit, no worries. I'll keep my fork up to date a=
+nd contribute back when I can.
+
+Best,
+Craig
