Scanning the first page of issues there seems to be a lot of bugs open.

Edit: Have we contacted the maintainer(s) outside of github issues?

@adamdecaf so back at GopherCon there was some talk of there being an opportunity to look in to these packages too. There may be some people who have some access to the repo, and could start a conversation around helping out. There are two other packages that are pretty closely related to viper: spf13/cobra and spf13/pflag, and we may need to understand whether we should look at those too.
