I have not heard anything back, but Nick and I remain interested in being added as maintainers.

Some of the paths are long enough that after they're included in our project they have nonportable lengths, requiring use to rename them. I made an issue last year: https://github.com/boostorg/odeint/issues/54.

You could move all the code to new headers that have a path that supports R. In the current headers remove everything, and just #include the new ones and add BOOST_HEADER_DEPRECATED(“<boost/new/header/path>") so nothing breaks.
