We do plan to fork Mapbox GL Native. It's not our initial focus, and we don't have the resources to manage it just yet, but it's definitely in the works.

MapTiler is already working on a fork they plan to release (towards the end of this or early next year), so for the moment, that will be the "official" fork, but if we get community interest, MapTiler has indicated they would be willing to move it to the MapLibre project, if it makes sense. No guarantee it moves to MapLibre yet, but definitely that there will be an active fork going forward.

Stadia is very interested in maintaining it, as are multiple other participants in MapLibre.

As to the other related projects, we aren't sure yet. We'll fork what mapbox-gl-js needs, but I think the plan is to do it on a case-by-case basis for now.

Best,
Luke
