ETA on CI3 PHP8.2 support?

To become a maintainer, you must prove that you are qualified. 
No one can become one easily.

Besides, no one chooses a new maintainer because there are no active maintainers already. 
So it is almost impossible to become a new maintainer.

What is practical is to fork CI3 and maintain it unofficially.
