Greetings,

I submitted a pull request <https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1600> to 
correct some inaccuracies and inconsistencies in BIP-85 
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0085.mediawiki> but the 
original author (Ethan Kosakovsky) is unreachable via both email and GitHub 
<https://github.com/ethankosakovsky>.

With guidance from Mark Erhardt  
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1600#issuecomment-2191817502>I am 
asking if any of you are able to reach Ethan?

If Ethan is unreachable or unwilling to maintain BIP-85, I volunteer as a 
champion for BIP-85, as afforded by BIP-2:

*It occasionally becomes necessary to transfer ownership of BIPs to a new 
champion... A good reason to transfer ownership is because the original 
author no longer has the time or interest in updating it or following 
through with the BIP process, or has fallen off the face of the 'net (i.e. 
is unreachable or not responding to email).*

I'm a computer scientist who has implemented BIP-85, BIP-32, and BIP-39 here 
<https://github.com/akarve/bipsea>. I use BIP-85 and have written about its 
potential in other posts on this list.

Hi Aneesh,
ACK, for my part, on your initiative. The original author, Ethan 
Kosakovsky, appears to have no GitHub activity since 2021: 
https://github.com/ethankosakovsky.
Cheers.
